Chris
Buck

He
knows how to drive but has never owned a car. His favorite time of
day is early morning. He likes the color lavender.
Chris Buck was born in Toronto in 1964. When he was twelve years old,
his father took him on a darkroom course with his older brother. Chris
was coming down with the flu at the time and would use his break time
to vomit. His first photographs were of buffalo.
At twenty-two he studied with Dave Heath (A Dialogue With Solitude,
1965) who suggested that perhaps Chris would be better satisfied as
a performer. Chris argued "No, no, I want to be a photographer,
really." So Chris really tried from then on.
His professional start came with the music publications The Nerve
and Graffiti. Some noteworthy photo subjects from this period include
Johnny Thunders, Pussy Galore and Canadian Prime Minister Jean Chrétien.
Chris moved to New York in the early 1990s. He soon started working
with Julian Richards, with whom he had a shared affection for a sort-of-interesting
English post-punk band. Julian has been awkwardly representing Chris
(and a few other sort-of-interesting photographers) ever since.
His clients include Esquire, Premiere, Entertainment Weekly, Fast
Company, Flaunt, New York Times Magazine, IBM, Microsoft, Hewlett
Packard, Nike and the American Indian College Fund.
His photographs have won awards from the Society of Publication Designers,
the Art Directors Club of New York, and the National Magazine Awards
of Canada. His pictures appear regularly in the photography annuals
of Communication Arts (1995, 1996, 1999, 2000, 2001), American Photography
(1997, 1998, 1999, 2001) and Photo District News (2001).
Chris Buck has been described as clever, and separately, damaged.
Billy Joel put it best when he said, "You're fucked up. Do you
want to shoot my next album cover?"
