About Chris Magee Chris Magee was born the son of American diplomats in Rangoon, Burma. After a childhood in Hong Kong he was sent off to the United States for schooling, that culminated in an honours degree in Broadcasting and Film at Boston University. After 20 years of experience as a cinematographer in the film and television business in Los Angeles, he moved to Australia. Chris, his Australian wife and two adopted children currently live in Ballarat, Victoria. Chris's photography business allows him to live and work locally in a community well suited to raising a family. Chris is passionately involved in his work. A dedicated photographer, he has a savvy eye for imagery. He knows how to use existing light, improve it or change it completely. He's lit everything from massive street scenes with truckloads of equipment and dozens of crew, to exacting product shots on small stages, to dramatic images using nothing more than himself and what fits in the boot of a car. Having shot thousands of meters of Kodak film, Chris Magee now shoots with the latest Nikon digital cameras, and finishes his shots with Adobe and Apple software.
