Chris Ritter (he/his) is an American writer and photographer from Lexington​, Virginia. In writing and photography⁠— and most other things too⁠— Chris lives a split life between the outdoors and music.

 

In the past five years, Chris' work has spanned from Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival in Tennessee, to the coldwater surf scene of Maine, to Chile's newest national park in Patagonia, and beyond.

 

At twenty-four years old, Chris continues to shoot and write around the world in both open wilderness spaces and packed music venues. Chris thinks he shouldn't have to choose between these two things. Chris also thinks that making a website dedicated to both means he'll never have to.
