My Statement:
“Limitations and imperfections are the building blocks of art” is my motto. My name is Christopher Valladares, and I am currently focusing on a fashion photography portfolio. I am working with models down here in Southern California for this project. I love working with fashion models and learning about new clothing styles. Everyone has a story and you can learn a lot about them just by observing what they wear. My work also pushes for style and creativity while highlighting clothing and models.
