The head rooster

  • Our founding feather has more than two decades experience photographing higher education, from Cornell to Columbia, S.C. He strutted into to Duke University to lead a stellar group of creators, and he still maintains deep working relationships there.

    Chris knows that a picture is worth 1,000 words, and that making a great picture takes skill, creativity, and preparation. He tells stories like cluckwork, capturing award-winning images on the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro, in a 600-foot pit recovering primate fossils in Madagascar, and investigating every nook and cranny of the Duke Chapel.

IT TAKES HARD WORK TO GET TO SIMPLE.

We may joke a lot, but we are serious about doing great work. Preparation is key to our success. We’ll scratch up great ideas and then put in the time to make them work for you. After all, the early bird gets the worm.

  • I have contracted with Rooster Media for photoshoots at high schools across North Carolina. Their photography visually captures the compelling stories we are eager to amplify to raise awareness and engage others in our mission.

  • It's a pleasure working with such talented people that take their work very seriously in a non-serious manner. That's a difficult but gifted skill to obtain and maintain. Rooster maintains this skill for every project and does it well.
