Hello,
My name is Christopher Mock, I am a Street Photographer currently based in Albuquerque, New
Mexico. Allow me to elaborate on why street photography saved my life.
I’ve had an eye for photography ever since I was 18 years old. I spent this time developing my vi-
sion, developing ideas and compositions in my mind. I’ve been behind the lens for 7 months now.
My style of photography is constantly evolving; I do black and white, then I switch to color without
breaking a sweat. Overall, I create images I would want to see. The tools I use first and foremost is
my eye. I believe it doesn’t matter what type of camera you use as long as you have the eye. Second,
I use a smartphone (iPhone 7) or Leica V-Lux 30. Lastly, I use my heart; I shoot only if I feel pas-
sionate about it, which I believe is the key to my success. I don’t do this for style points, likes and
confirmation on social media, etc.
When I say street photography saved my life; it saved my life from depression, it reignited my pas-
sion for the arts, and my purpose redefined. Life is so much sweeter from behind the lens.
My goals are set; I intend to have a long career in this field.
One day, I plan to teach the next generation the basics and finer points of image making.
Thank you for riding with me on this photographic journey.
Till another day,
Christopher Mock
