My name is Chris Kendell and I am a photographer who has been working (either full time or freelance) since completing my education in Professional Photography in 1988.
 
I currently split my time between our properties in Northern California (in the Sierra Mts and in Dixon), and Prineville, Oregon, with my Make-up Artist/Stylist Significant Other, Sandi, and our cat, Buddy.

Sandi and I are former Professional Singer/Actors/Models.  I say former, because we are currently not doing anything in the entertainment field - but if you have ever met an actor, you know, they are never far from the business. 

We feel that our creative backgrounds help us when working with other creative people like models and actors - as we have been there and have a wealth of experience to share.  I think it makes me a much better photographer than if I hadn't been in front of the camera or on stage.  I feel I understand what the model may be going through, how uncomfortable it can be, and how to help them relax - and I hope that comes through in our sessions.

I don't usually accept TFCD/TFP sessions - but I am interested in expanding and rebuilding my portfolio so...  if you are exceptional or have a project in mind that is compelling, interesting, creatively fulfilling, or something fun - contact me let's see what we can do together.

With years of experience as a Quality Assurance Expert in the High Tech Industry my motto has been "Good enough - isn't".  My philosophical view of art is that "The value of Art is in its impact!"

I hope this little bio gives you a little insight into who I am.  If you need to know more, just ask.
