LOS ANGELES CORPORATE PHOTOGRAPHER

Sightline Visuals: documenting business from an informed perspective.

My name is Chris Lake and I've spent more than two decades behind the scenes of the business world, photographing CEOs, shooting annual reports, and telling stories for publications like Fast Company and Inc. Magazine. Organizations like Accenture and Allstate called on me to portray leadership and mission in my honest, humanistic style.

Over time I recognized that communications teams need creative partners they can trust completely. People who work quietly, show up prepared, and understand what's at stake in the room.

Every organization is writing its own history. Most of them have no record of it. Let’s change that.

  • Chris is a gifted photographer with a keen eye for detail. In addition, he's a pleasure to work with and is especially great at making his subjects comfortable and relaxed as he masterfully does his thing. I would describe his photography work as stunningly beautiful, whether it's on-location documentary style or corporate portraits, his pictures are worth more than a thousand words.

Chris is always able to find those beautiful moments that help to bring a story to life. Whether it is portraits and lifestyle imagery, you can count on getting top quality assets. To top it off, Chris is a joy to work with, with an ability to easily team up with producers and videographers to make the time on set as productive and efficient as possible."
