ABOUT THE ARTIST:

Chris Buck is a New York-based photographer and director known for his distinctive style: conceptual, irreverent, smart, and intimate.

His portraits have won placement in American Photography over 50 times, and he was the first recipient of the Arnold Newman Portrait Prize. His editorial clients include The New Yorker, The Atlantic, and The New York Times Magazine.

He has shot ad campaigns for major brands such as Coca-Cola, Google, Kia, and TD Bank; and directed motion spots for Oscar Mayer, SAP and Viagra. Notably, he won a Cannes Lions Grand Prix for the provocative Diesel campaign, “Be Stupid.”

Lürzer’s Archive said, “Chris Buck is a genius at creating photos that stick in people’s minds. He is a past master at coming up with inventive, offbeat ideas, and his subjects respond perfectly.”

The namesake project, Chris Buck’s Chris Bucks, was an 18 year side project. This show is the first exhibition of this ambitious and endearing project. See the comments for more backstory.
