Christopher Boffoli big appetites Fine art photographer, photojournalist, independent filmmaker, and journalist based in Seattle

Past Fine art photographer, photojournalist, independent filmmaker, and journalist based in Seattle 1995 : Graduate Studies, Literature, Harvard University, Cambridge, Massachusetts Born and raised in boson and he lived in the west coast for 9 years. Inspired by childhood stories and his experience as a food writer, Christopher Boffoli crafted imaginative uses for food items. His photographs play with ideas of scale, placing dolls sourced from Europe. "In the context of my work, I thought the concept was a great foil(a setback in an enterprise; a defeat. ) for the way our American penchant(a strong or habitual liking for something or tendency to do something. ) for massive portion sizes has the potential to transform something that nurtures us into something that does us harm, ” He photographs all of his work against bright, monochromatic backgrounds, using real food as his subjects, which he views as a corrective against the highly doctored and often-artificial food used in advertising and culinary magazines.

NOW Christopher Boffoli is most known for his gallery called “Big Appetites “ That work can be found in galleries and private collections in the US, Canada, Europe and Asia, and a Big Appetites book was released in bookstores this past fall. Here in Seattle I also cover breaking news stories and write feature stories, often about food.
