Chris Kister

Chris Kister is a classical educated Architecture, Advertising and Art Photographer who lives in Frankfurt am Main, Germany.

He has been working for now 30 years as a freelance photographer for his customers: architects, real estate developer, design firms, advertising agencies and the financial industry.

For him, architectural photography means: "The aesthetic engagement with the building and the intention to also find unusual perspectives and to put the peculiarity of the design attractively into the picture."

Depending on the task, he photographically interprets his architectural images artistically or objectively. Often he realises both approaches.

He is Professsional Member of BFF, Member of BBK and Member of Freelens.

Chris Kister works regionally, nationally and internationally.
