Kris Krüg is a fashion and editorial photographer based in Vancouver, and founder of the photography studio Static Photography. Constantly challenging himself by shooting diverse subjects from emerging rock bands to dot com execs, Kris uses his engaging personality to break down the barriers between lens and subject. He treats each person with a gentle hand, allowing the subject to comfortably express themselves with a level of otherwise un-coaxable intensity. Combined with a calculating eye (and a penchant for cross-processing), the result is a capture of their truest essence - a story of their life in tableau as unabashed artistic documentation whether the subject is out front his downtown Eastside apartment, a fashion model, or a farmer in the back hills of China.
