CHRISTOPHER D'ALLEN PHOTOGRAPHY

My journey into photography is deeply rooted in my family of artists. I recently discovered that both of my grandfathers were talented photographers who used their artwork and technical skills to grow their businesses. Though I initially pursued a different path, I became increasingly drawn to my creative side with every project and assignment I undertook.

In 2020, I picked up my first camera after years of practicing with my parents' gear. However, it wasn’t until the summer of 2022, when I left my full-time job to start my own business, that I truly dove into photography. In January 2023, I returned to MATC to study photography, fully committing to honing my craft.

I hold a political science and Spanish degree from UW-Green Bay, which has fueled my passion for communication and storytelling. I discovered that visual media, especially photography, is an incredibly powerful tool for conveying messages and ideas. Through photographs, I can tell a story, inspire change, and spread positivity faster than any article I have ever read or written. This realization has driven my work, and I bring that same passion for storytelling and communication into every photo I create.

I began my photography career in events, where I was particularly drawn to capturing the candid moments and little details that often go unnoticed. As I transition into product photography, I carry with me the lessons I've learned along the way—always focused on the power of an image to tell a story and connect with others.
