Chris Angelo

Photography – Pittsburgh

Pittsburgh native Chris Angelo has always viewed life through a nonconventional lens. Although Chris first took an interest in photography during his high school years, his excitement for the subject truly peaked in 2010. Realizing that his preferred medium of expression was through pictures, and not words, Chris decided to pursue photography full-time and enrolled in the Art Institute shortly thereafter. Four years later, Chris continues to explore his passion and refine his talent through his unique photographic interpretations. Chris strives to reveal the dark and twisted side of his subjects by venturing down a path not typically followed. He believes that darkness can be found in any subject and that everyone has a twisted side that they may be afraid to acknowledge. Rather than ignoring the inherit darkness found within everyday life, Chris incorporates these aspects into his photography in an innovative and truly original manner. In addition to finding inspiration for his work within life’s dark and twisted elements, Chris also generates ideas from his favorite music, performing artists, and celebrity photographer, Terry Richardson.
