FILSON

Neil Morgan, COO

What drew our team to Chris’s work was his eye, the way he pulls together the subject and the background. It is the perspective he takes as a photographer. His work conveys an authenticity and the accessibility that bleeds through to our audience, to whom we’re trying to convey what the Filson identity and lifestyle are, but it doesn’t mean it is exclusive to ranchers and people living in Montana or Idaho. It’s rooted in our values and accessibility for a broad audience. The connections he makes with folks as subjects, they understand he’s not trying to co-opt or fetishize the Western lifestyle but rather, that he speaks to it in a romantic and real way because he lives it and our audience likewise senses that.

RESISTOL

Mary Jane Carpenter, Marketing

We at Resistol have always admired Chris’s work and believe him to be the best photographer in the Western genre. He has an incredible eye for authentic Western and cowboy lifestyles and landscapes. Besides his amazing talent as a photographer, he’s ridden broncs himself, traveled with some of the greatest cowboys, and lives the lifestyle. That spirit of the West is in his soul and shines through his work. He’s an easy choice for the Resistol brand—our cowboy hats are made by cowboys for the ranching and rodeo cowboy.

LINDSEY THORNBURG

Lindsey Thornburg, Owner / Designer

The beauty Chris captures threads through all timelines and narratives. His knowledge contributes to the legitimacy. It was great to shoot with someone who understands the realm I’m trying to express my work through, versus bringing a New York person out there and asking them to interpret. How he sees the casting and the models, it’s a beautiful culmination of so many different worlds and ideas. Chris knows his terrain and how to get the shots fast. There isn’t a ton of fluff. He gets what you need with just him being out there. That experience is more raw, more organic and it turns out brilliant. He’s the last Renaissance Man that I’ve seen in a while.
