Chris Sista

WHERE I'VE BEEN:

Born and raised in Peekskill, NY, I majored in photography at SUNY Purchase. I came out to LA in 2001 to try my hand at filmmaking, while also maintaining my interest in photography. Since relocating to LA, I've worked on a variety of films and TV shows, both in front of and behind the camera. In 2005 I was lucky eneough to fullfill my lifelong dream of having Mickey Mouse on my name tag, as a photographer for The Walt Disney Company. After spending a few years shooting theme parks, resorts, and restaurants for disneyland.com and waltdisneyworld.com, I ventured out into the world of freelancing, with a focus on photography and filmmaking.

WHERE I'M AT:

I'm currently experimenting with new ways to market my work. I've decided that in an age where a DLSR has HD video capabilities, and sites like youtube exist, there's no reason for photographers to limit themselves to postcards and craigslist ads. So expect some commercials, soon. Additionally, I'm always working on expanding my photo portfolio and client base.

WHERE I'M GOING:

Besides photography, I'll be focusing on getting C320 Films, my production company dedicated to shorts and web shows, up and running. Beyond that, I'll let you know when I figure it out myself. ;-)
