Welcome to my channel! I'm Chris, a video producer and photographer located in Portland, OR.

On this channel, we lean into photo and video gear reviews, techniques, tutorials and concepts that make creating content fun, whether it's personal or for professional work. I enjoy going deeper than surface level into my favorite cameras and lenses, but I also love exploring new technology as well.
