Christopher Forslund
Christopher Forslund is an award winning, US based, landscape and nature photographer and full time RV Nomad. His images have been displayed in galleries throughout the United States.
Christopher's upbringing took place amidst the tranquil coastal mountains of Northern California, fostering a deep love for nature, photography, and the arts. Starting with his early days in the Boy Scouts and spanning a seventeen-year career in law enforcement, along with a stint as a touring professional musician, he has been fortunate to journey across the country. During these travels, he has had the privilege of experiencing the nation's awe-inspiring landscapes and wildlife, capturing their essence through the lens of his camera. In recent years, Christopher has shifted his lens towards avian photography, delving into the enchanting realm of birds in their natural habitats. With a keen eye for detail and a passion for capturing the beauty of their form, his images invite viewers into the captivating world of feathered creatures. Through thoughtful composition and a deep appreciation for the nuances of light and color, Christopher's photographs celebrate the elegance and vitality of avian life.
“There is so much more to capturing an image than just the technical aspects of photography. I strongly believe that an image can truly speak to the heart and when I am capturing an image, I attempt to use the existing light and color to convey the emotion that I feel in that moment. I truly desire to harness strong emotion through my images.”
“I love to travel and can seldom be in one place for any significant length of time. I am drawn to all of the beauty that this great Nation has to offer and am always excited when I have the opportunity to capture and share a new image.”
“Through the years, my passion for photography has never diminished and now my love of photography coupled with the love of travel is truly a dream come true.”
