At the same time they fulfill the classic mission of all good portraiture\u2014revealing something meaningful and compelling about the personality, identity, and inner life of the subject. Some of Lane\u2019s images are laugh out loud hilarious, while others are quietly amusing, but all are brilliantly conceived, masterfully composed and ingeniously executed works that rise to the level of fine art.<\/p>\n<p>Lane\u2019s career began almost by accident, when, as a young man, he haunted the back alleys of London\u2019s famed Brick Lane market and saw \u201cbeautiful cameras being traded at the crack of dawn.\u201d Fascinated, he soon picked up a camera of his own and began shooting images on Ilford XP2, a chromogenic (C-41 process) black-and-white film. He loved interacting with people and shooting pictures of them, and that\u2019s what ultimately led to his first big break\u2014the chance to move to America on a Full Presidential Scholarship to the Savannah (Georgia) College of Art and Design. There he met his wife and mentor Jasmine Hsu, whom he credits as his most important teacher, and the one who really inspired him to pursue photography as a profession.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-34358 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Mayor-of-Leeds.jpg\" alt=\"mayor of leeds\" width=\"439\" height=\"547\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Mayor-of-Leeds.jpg 579w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Mayor-of-Leeds-241x300.jpg 241w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 439px) 100vw, 439px\" \/>\u00a0<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-34359 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Jerry-Seinfeld-Coffee-Cars.jpg\" alt=\"jerry seinfeld coffe cup\" width=\"421\" height=\"545\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Jerry-Seinfeld-Coffee-Cars.jpg 556w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Jerry-Seinfeld-Coffee-Cars-232x300.jpg 232w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 421px) 100vw, 421px\" \/>His second big break came when he was still a college student\u2014he snagged a plum assignment photographing Disney and Universal Studios for Newsweek, and that success motivated him to move to New York to \u201clearn the business\u201d in a hands-on way. But what really put him on the map was getting a picture series published by the New York Times, then considered \u201cthe Bible\u201d among pro photographers. This led to numerous follow-up assignments including a portfolio featuring Barack Obama that really elevated him to top-tier status.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-34356\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Peter-Gorilla-Wedding-Shot.jpg\" alt=\"gorilla wedding man\" width=\"720\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Peter-Gorilla-Wedding-Shot.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Peter-Gorilla-Wedding-Shot-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>At Savannah, Lane earned three degrees, a BFA in Photography and another in Historic Preservation in 1999, and a Master of Fine Arts in Photography in 2002. \u201cPerhaps the most important thing I got out of my experience at Savannah was a chance to develop my style and work with some really great professors,\u201d Lane recalls. \u201cAll of them were totally different in their approach and each had their own perspective, which gave me a great overview of my future possibilities.\u201d One professor in particular was very cheeky and unconventional, and he wisely encouraged Lane to develop his skills in approaching people. Fortunately he took his advice to heart, and it\u2019s a key element in Lane\u2019s distinctive photographic style.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-34360 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Fife-Drum-Corps.jpg\" alt=\"fife drum corps\" width=\"458\" height=\"605\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Fife-Drum-Corps.jpg 545w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Fife-Drum-Corps-227x300.jpg 227w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 458px) 100vw, 458px\" \/>\u00a0<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-34361 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Bernie-Sanders-Falling.jpg\" alt=\"bernie sanders falling\" width=\"403\" height=\"604\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Bernie-Sanders-Falling.jpg 480w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Bernie-Sanders-Falling-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 403px) 100vw, 403px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The recognition of Christopher Lane\u2019s unique vision, mastery of lighting, and overall technical excellence have earned him a number of prestigious honors, including the New York Art Director\u2019s Young Guns Award in 2009, the Photo District News (PDN) Portfolio of the Month in March 2013, and a Jersey City Artist Space Award Grant.

He has lectured on Controlled Lighting at the School of Visual Arts (SVA) in New York, he has been a Judge and Committee Member of the Art Director\u2019s Club Photography Annual, and he gives annual lectures at his Alma Mater, the Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD). \u201cI\u2019m a guest lecturer every time I visit SCAD, which is usually once a year,\u201d says Lane, \u201cand I have a really good relationship with the professors.

For bigger jobs he uses Profoto 600R lights, and lately he\u2019s been experimenting with his old Mamiya RZ Pro II medium format film SLR, now fitted with a digital back, which he describes as \u201cvery special.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After viewing the totality of Christopher Lane\u2019s stunningly unique images, ranging from wildly unconventional portraits and documentary photographs to photojournalistic and surreal wedding pictures, it is clear that his photography actually has a transcendent purpose. He is exploring the oddities of human behavior and modern society with an ironic twist, using humor and the unexpected to reveal unsettling truths. He does it by taking people out of their comfort zone and approaching them in a different light. Indeed, he believes that many of his most significant personal projects grew out the parades he used to photograph when he first began shooting. Initially he saw them as \u201cstreet candy,\u201d but as his career grew he took the sense of \u201cspectacle\u201d from the crowd in the parade and applied it to individuals to \u201cportray them as their individual selves.\u201d But Lane also has a profound appreciation for the formal photographic arts training he received at SCAD because, \u201cit taught me about the art, business, and technical requirements of my passion and profession, giving me a great foundation to strive on.\u201d He considers himself very fortunate to have been given some great assignments that shaped his career, and he thrives on documentary assignment with a portrait twist.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-34365\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Abbie-Liana.jpg\" alt=\"two girls - abbie and liana\" width=\"920\" height=\"569\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Abbie-Liana.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Abbie-Liana-300x185.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 920px) 100vw, 920px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>But Lane is not the kind of guy likely to rest on his laurels. \u201cIt\u2019s really true that you\u2019re only as good as your last assignment,\u201d he concedes, \u201cand that\u2019s why I put the maximum amount of effort an thought into each one I receive. For every shoot I keep my eye on the prize and strive to fulfill the stated objectives, and I try to achieve four or five options so I\u2019ll have at least one that works for me and my clients. I know that the more I research the subject the more likely I am to create images that translate in the magazine. Christopher Lane is an inspired artist and something of a genius, but as someone once said, \u201cGenius is 10% inspiration an 90% perspiration.\u201d Translation: He makes it look effortless but it tales a lot of hard work.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>His irreverent, uproarious, and endearing portraits stop you in your tracks and make you smile, but they also capture the reality behind the mask.
