Professional Photographer

Christopher Renaud

Chris’s journey into photography and the media industry began during his high school days when he enrolled in his school’s photography class. This initial spark of interest in photography eventually grew into a full-fledged passion for capturing images.

His dedication to learning led him to volunteer at his local television station, where he eagerly soaked up knowledge about both operating cameras and video editing. This hands-on experience laid the foundation for his future endeavors in the field.

In his spare time, Chris explored his hometown in eastern Ontario, using his DSLR camera to capture the beauty of nature and the charm of old buildings. This not only honed his photography skills but also deepened his love for the art of visual storytelling.

Even after high school, Chris continued his volunteer work at the television station, expanding his expertise to include live broadcasts, conducting interviews, and working on graphics. These skills propelled him into the world of film, where he had the opportunity to work both behind and in front of the camera in the city of Ottawa.

Drawing from his on-set experiences, Chris ventured into indie filmmaking in his hometown. Collaborating with friends, they produced four short films together. Chris’s talent extended beyond acting and directing, as he also wrote shorts for other filmmakers, contributing to projects like “The Long Road” and “The Apparition.”
