Chris Beyond

I am the editor of No-Fi "Magazine" and after 10 years, I'm finally opening up to shooting for other publications and sites.

I work mostly in the Southern California area, but sometimes travel to other states where I would probably like to shoot while I'm there. I hope to visit New York, Portland, Nevada, and Arizona in the next year.

I am also the co-host of The Burlesque Podcast, a weekly podcast about the burlesque industry. I have been lucky to interview many of the top stars in the field as well as photograph many of the people we interview from Kitten DeVille to Tempest Storm.

My influences: are all over the place. Russ Meyer, Helmut Newton, Harold Lloyd, Dan DeCarlo's pre-Archie Comics Pin-Up Art, Bill Wenzel, Art Frahm's paintings, Men's Magazines from the 50's and 60s, Mad Magazine, Sci-Fi & Horror Comics from the 50's & 60's, Old magazine and album covers, etc, etc... Basically, I am very influenced by retro style and layout, but I am open to do a lot of different types of shoots. I especially love shoots that involve humor or irony.

Stating the obvious, I'm looking for interesting people to take photos of. Guys or gals are fine. My specialty is Pin-Up Photography, but I'm open to most everything.

I'm also looking for alternative and retro style clothing companies who would like to sponsor photoshoots for No-Fi "Magazine" or other publications or projects I shoot for.

Also feel free to inquire about any photoseries I'm working on.[/i]
