Christopher Churchill is a Boston-based photographer who has been exhibited and published internationally. He spent much of his childhood in Maine and sailing along the east coast was an integral part of that experience. Those memories of being in the landscape on a boat continue to influence how he photographs his subjects. He is well-known for his portrait work – particularly his series on American Faith, but landscape holds a special place for him and was his first passion.
