CHRIS SUSPECT
be inspired
I am a street and documentary photographer hailing from the Washington, DC area. My street work specializes in capturing the absurd and profound moments in the quotidian and my documentary work is the result of deep dives for years at a time into various subcultures. I have been recognized internationally by winning numerous photography awards and I have been exhibited in Miami, Belgium, Germany, Italy, Romania, Georgia, United Arab Emirates, and the United Kingdom. In 2019 I was a guest lecturer at StreetFoto San Francisco and Street Photo Milano. In 2018 I was named chairperson of the Focus on the Story Festival in Washington, DC. My documentary work on the underground music scene in Washington, D.C., was published as a book, Suspect Device, by Empty Stretch in 2014 and is currently held in the Leica Galerie Archives.
