Chris Roush is a visual artist based out of Northern California, with a home base in the Front Range of the Colorado Rockies.  He works primarily with large format black and white film, creating intimate environmental portraits framed to express the wonder and respect he feels for his subjects.  After over 20 years of working in fields heavily reliant on exploring personalities and developing relationships, he turns those skills and experiences to exploring the personalities and passions of of whomever is sitting in front of his lens.

A graduate of the Academy of Art University's Master of Fine Arts program, Chris balances a heavy travel schedule with the demands of making, developing, and printing images.  He usually travels with a makeshift, fully functional darkroom crammed into a suitcase all over the U.S. His dedication to the craft and his genuine interest in humanity and the places he travels are evident in the timeless and powerful images he creates.
