Chris Cuffaro

Over the past 50 years, Chris’ signature work with a galaxy of A List
actors, models, athletes and musicians has helped them define
their public image while establishing his reputation as one of the
most respected photographers in the entertainment industry.

Drawn to the excitement of music as a teenager growing up in
Northern California, Chris began his career by shooting local rock
shows for fun. He quickly graduated to headlining acts and, since
moving to Los Angeles in the early 1980’s, has worked with a
massive catalog of performers in the music and entertainment
industry.
He has shot the best of the best in the music world including
ground-breaking bands like Jane’s Addiction, Pearl Jam, the Red
Hot Chili Peppers and Nirvana, George Michael, Iggy Pop, No
Doubt, Henry Rollins, Elvis Costello, Fiona Apple, Scott Weiland
and Soundgarden. These images have regularly appeared in Rolling
Stone, Spin, RayGun, Vibe, Musician as well as on the covers of more
than 300 record albums and CDs.
Along with his significant commercial and editorial contributions
as a music photographer, Chris’ portfolio also includes an equally
impressive group of A-list actors from Johnny Depp to Dustin
Hoffman, sports icons from Kobe Bryant to Wayne Gretzky, and
television shows from American Idol to So You Think You Can
Dance. His images have been in Entertainment Weekly, US, Stuff,
Maxim, Premiere, British Elle and W.
His natural talent, versatility and tireless pursuit of artistic
expression continue to grow no matter the medium. “Regardless
of what I’ve been able to accomplish in the past, there are always
new mountains to climb and new borders to cross,” Chris
explains. “I’m excited by where I’m going and what lies ahead… by
the journey as well as the destination.”
