Christopher Saavedra lives where the sea breeze and mountain air meet, comfortable under the heat of his studio lights. Wrestling with ideas of time and logic in an exploration of self discovery. He is part of a generation of fast paced imagery but remains an old soul,clinging to the analog processes of the past, respecting the craftsmanship in creating the thing itself. Wandering through collections of curiosities he admits to being a dreamer.

He failed his first photography class. Found his passion at Sierra College, where he continually volunteers and received refinement while earning his Photography B.A. at CSU Sacramento.
