Photography Commission
Hello! I’m Christina X Brown. I love capturing the “moment” and portraying the magic you feel during an in-person experience. I pride myself on adapting to the moment and capturing truly candid moments. Especially for events, reducing photography presence and noise levels are crucial for attendant experience.
For photography commissions, my general rate is $100 per hour. Prices may range based on event type, duration, and intensity of workload. Below are some of my photography samples, though an official portfolio could be requested via email.
For any inquiries, please email me at cxb7543@gmail.com.

In and Out of the Limelight [photo essay]
Inspired by Blak Rapp, an artist/activist featured in the WATS:On? Festival at Carnegie Mellon University. The photo essay highlights the festival behind the scenes dychotomy between being in the spotlight and out for a performer that is sharing their soul and traumatic past through spoken word and song.
Some photography is digitally taken, others are taken with an analog film camera (Canon FTb) and hand processed within a dark lab.

Highlighted Personal Photography
This includes models that have been made for courses, photography for extracurriculars and volunteering efforts, travel photography, and portraits.
Personally I always aim to highlight the moment, the experiential wonder, or the human connection that is present in those instances. To me, photography is a way to appreciate the inherent beauty of life, to document the lifestyle and voices of people, and to bring attention to words unsaid.
