Welcome!
My name is Chris Stewart and I am a professional photographer based in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada.
I shoot a range of different subjects including architecture, landscapes, cityscapes, travel, stock and portraiture.
Examples of my work in these subject areas may be viewed and purchased in the many galleries here on my web site and on my stock photography site at iStockphoto where I am an exclusive photographer.
Another of my key subject areas is SPORTS PHOTOGRAPHY and I have developed a reputation as one of the premier sports shooters here in Victoria and on Vancouver Island.

About Me
Born in Rockford, Illinois, I spent much of my early childhood exploring the beaches of Lake Michigan and the backwoods of northern Indiana. After moving to Canada in 1972, I went on to complete a B.Sc. and M.Sc. in physical geography and geology, from which I gained an appreciation and understanding of the diverse physical features and cultures found in the world – an appreciation that is reflected in many of my images. Extensive opportunities for travel throughout Canada, the United States, Mexico, the Caribbean and Europe have provided me with a variety of subject matter over the years.
I truly believe that the difference between a "nice" photo and a truly great photo, is first, seeing what everybody sees, but then having the ability to see what others do not. With this in mind, I try to look for the "detail" in a scene, or else concentrate on other aspects such as dramatic color, texture, composition or lighting. The right combination of these factors, result, I hope, in images that provide unique and unusual perspectives on otherwise ordinary subjects.
On the sports photography front, I was inspired in high school by the great photos in Sports Illustrated and went on to shoot football, basketball and other sports for the school paper in university. While I dabbled in sports after that, the acquisition of my first DSLR a number of years ago and my son's involvement in minor sports, awakened my passion for sports photography and I now cover a range of activities on Vancouver Island and the Pacific Northwest.
