My journey as a photographic artist has taken me around the world, capturing the beauty of nature, the energy of live events, and the depth of human emotion. Now, I focus on cannabis product photography, helping brands share their stories through creative, high-quality photographs.
With a strong eye for composition, lighting, and storytelling, I believe each photograph conveys a unique message. My goal is to capture not just the beauty of cannabis products, but also the passion, artistry, and culture behind the industry. Through my lens, I create images that evoke emotion, inspire curiosity, and leave a lasting impression.
I do what I love, for the love of the image.
-Chris Bacon - Photographer/Artist/Owner at Baconfoto
Graduating from a Graphic Communications & Photography trade school, I have years of hands-on experience working in top professional photo labs during the peak of Medium format and 35mm wedding and studio portraiture photography.
I mastered darkroom techniques, specializing in custom large black-and-white gallery printing, and developed a strong technical background in archival storage and presentation with a focus on photographic imaging.
Over my career, I’ve held key roles throughout the photography industry, including serving as a Wedding & Event photographer and the Technical Director for an Cheryl Amati Martin Photo for over 20 years, where I photographed large weddings and managed production workflows.
I have had the opportunity to travel internationally and live abroad, training teams of professional retouchers in advanced Photoshop techniques. This experience has not only honed my technical expertise but also strengthened my ability to lead, collaborate, and communicate effectively across diverse cultural and professional settings.
Now I work as a Technical Software Program Manager at an aerial imaging firm, while producing creative visuals as Baconfoto. This deep foundation in both creative and technical aspects enables me to deliver precise, high-quality imagery tailored to clients' needs.
2025 UPDATE: Currently, in Rochester, NY at ROCO - The ROchester COntemporary Art Center, I'm exhibiting the below photograph, 'SUPERNATURAL' through February 15, 2025.
I have enjoyed cooperative shows in Rochester, New York. My works are in multiple private collections and I've been published in the Rochester Info-courses newspaper, SWIIG fashion magazine, and the Democrat and Chronicle – the Week in Arts. I've been awarded many awards and most notably I won 1st Place in Photography at the 'HSBC Bank USA - Employee Art Show', 2007. I had the pleasure of exhibiting in both Rochester ArtWalk Exhibitions in 2006 & 2008, in which I was it was honored to be the showcased artist representing the exhibit for their 2008 marketing campaign.
