Artist Bio: 

Christopher Draghi has always been drawn to photography as a medium to capture the details of the world as he sees them. 'His eye' is influenced by a background in fine arts and graphic design. Compositions and marked contrasts tend to be painterly and, at times, exaggerated, evoking a quality of both intimacy and strength.

The fine art photography series, especially the statue series, have established themselves as favorites among interior designers and architects in Europe and the US and can be found in residential and commercial spaces around the world.

Over the years he has had the great opportunity of freelancing for various press outlets for interior design and fashion publications as well as having his fine art photography featured in international magazine editorials and blogs, he is thankful to the editors and designers who have allowed him to participate and who have supported his photography, both commercial and fine art, and the talented colleagues who have assisted him with his work.
