Michael Christopher Brown

Michael Christopher Brown (30) iniziò a fotografare durante gli studi universitari in psicologia. Il suo lavoro cattura dettagli di una sensuale intimità in eventi inaspettati – il dorso di una donna intravisto dalla finestra di un bar o la crescente discesa di un tuffatore dalla scogliera di Acapulco. Nel 2008, cinque anni dopo aver preso un MA in comunicazione visiva all’Università dell’Ohio, Brown, di stanza a New York, è nominato dall’America Photo come uno dei quindici artisti emergenti da vedere, un Magenta Emerging Photographer, un PDN 30 ed un `Young Gun´ dall’ Art Directors Club di New York. Il suo lavoro è stato pubblicato nelle principali testate.
