Headed up to Michigan to visit my wife’s grandmother. Absolutely love the woman. Full of life, happiness, amazing stories and infinite kindness. Truly a model human being worthy of all respect and adoration. However there are a few negatives I discovered upon my first couple trips up there a while back.. To avoid the sting […]

Beta version of Photoshop CS6 is out! I can say right off the bat I’m not a huge fan of the icon.. But honestly I can get over that, heck I can change them if I want to… I’ve just finished downloading the Photoshop CS6 beta. Do the same! So far its proving to be […]
Gear.. Its both a wonderful and a terrible thing. There is always something new to purchase. The question to ask yourself is, do I really need it or am I wanting to purchase it because its new and shiny? The bad thing is, there will always be something newer and shiner the second we take […]
If you are going to try to scam me, at least change the text in your email.. I’ve received the same email twice about shooting a last minute wedding. I’ve pasted the message below. So far I’ve received the email from hpharaon@outdoormedias.com and kellybrown1977@gmail.com and have been asked to forward my response and price list […]
Want to shoot underwater portraits but don’t have access to a pool or any of the gear? Try this. I just found this post on Fstoppers.com from photographer Joao Carlos. Instead of shooing in a pool with underwater gear, he shot in his studio and editable powder (or you could use flour). Thrown at just the […]
Note to self, clean your sensor or stop shooting photos with so much negative space… It happens to everyone, eventually you will get dust in your images. Most of the time you won’t notice its there, until you get some neutral featureless tones behind it. FYI I am talking about sensor dust. Its surprising what […]
I live in an off camera flash world. No questions, flash looks better off camera than on 95% of the time. The only time you will see me using a flash on camera is if I can properly bounce the light off a ceiling or wall. What is the best way to get your flash […]
Light is everything in photography, and believe it or not you can find beautiful light absolutely anywhere you go! So what is good light? That depends on your preference. Personally I love really soft glowing natural light. The type of light you will find on a super cloudy afternoon. But what do we do if […]
Little history on the name WhonPhoto. In 2010 I traveled to Guatemala with several friends to help build homes, pass out shoes, and simply help any way we could. (More details here) The trip included 2 people with the name Chris, so to help with any confusion and avoid any favoritism they decided to call us […]

Underwater photography has always been a phenomenal source of inspiration for me. Growing up my father got me hooked on scuba diving. We would travel to Florida frequently and dive some of the wrecks and springs. I was elated when he purchased a housing for his little point and shoot! I commandeered it straight away […]

I left my heart in Zambia.. While we had free time after visiting different villages we visited the Children’s Nest orphanage in Choma. These children are incredible! So loving and playful! Once you step foot on their property they come charging out of the house yelling ‘Auntie! Uncle!’ (Everyone that visits them is their Aunt […]

Each frame you purchase from me comes with your choice of an image I’ve taken in Guatemala or Africa. There are literally hundreds of design and color options, contact me to set up a meeting […]
Lets talk! To date this was one of the most extreme shoots I’ve done, not in the setup (thats another post coming up) but in post production. About the Shoot: 2nd jobs aren’t always bad! Working at Starbucks got me this gig! At the time I was unmarried and right out of college. I needed some […]
So I’ve been interested in getting some new faces on my site for a while now. I’ve been experimenting with different styles and techniques trying to figure out what I want to do with the rest of my life. Part of my problem is I get burnt out photographing pretty quick. I need a fresh […]
Recently I had the opportunity to take a little helicopter trip above Grant County to photograph the Fairmount Wesleyan Campground for their updated website. This is an out of this world experience!! Especially with no door or window separating me from the earth 500 ft. below me! Growing up in Marion IN, I thought I knew […]
