Chris Maggio is a New York based photographer and creative director who creates imagery rooted in narrative, whilst carefully ensuring there is space for the viewer to thread their own interpretations and experiences.

He notes his craft is continually inspired by photography’s ambiguous relationship to truth. “I’m fascinated by the way it captures, shapes, and distorts our memories. The shortcomings of the technology to perfectly capture reality are what make it beautiful. All of these ‘imperfections’ illustrate how a photograph is always an interpretation of reality, but never able to fully replicate it. It’s our job as photographers to play within that space and explore that limitation.”

Chris' thoughtfully humorous and timely approach has led to commissions worldwide from clients including Balenciaga, How To with John Wilson, Marc Jacobs, Re-Edition Magazine, 100 Gecs and more.

Beyond his commercial practice, Chris has also exhibited internationally with The Photographer’s Gallery in London, C/O Berlin, and in a group exhibition produced by Aperture Foundation and on view at FOAM Amsterdam. His work has been profiled in Zeit, The New Yorker, Its Nice That, The Messy Truth and Emmazed.
