Christopher Mortenson
My name is Christopher Mortenson, but everyone calls me Morty. I am an editorial and portrait photographer based out of Los Angeles. My work stems from a quote by Henri Cartier-Bresson “To take a photograph is to align the head, the eye, and the heart. It’s a way of life”. Ever since reading this I have been trying to keep that same energy whenever making photographs. I am available for high energy editorial and commercial shoots around the world.
