| About | Christopher Allwine 

Vincent Van Gogh once remarked, “I often think that the night is more alive and richly colored than the day.”

Christopher Allwine (b. 1987) is an American fine art photographer and visual storyteller based in Orange County, California. His focus in painted-light photography, often shot at solitary locations without any post-production effects, highlights the ways in which the camera can be used to explore the visual and symbolic nature of the nocturnal image.

The artistry in Allwine’s painted-light photographs comes from the combination of long exposures, hand-held light-emitting tools, and his decisive talent creating a photograph’s punctum (the personal touch detail which establishes a direct relationship with an object or person within a photograph).

Luminous, striking, and intriguing, Allwine’s progressive style of art photography has been exhibited at top art shows throughout Southern California for over a decade - predominantly within the artist colony of Laguna Beach. In addition to appearing at all three of the city’s highly acclaimed art festivals, his work has been featured at premier venues including The Ritz-Carlton, John Wayne Airport - Orange County, and the renowned Festival of Arts & Pageant of the Masters.

His limited edition photographs can be found in private collections worldwide.
