Christopher Cunningham (b. 1988, Virginia)
I have an artistic practice that spans photography, drawing, writing, sculpture, independent publishing, and open source software.

I have worked in photographic print production for the past fifteen years, collaborating with artists, galleries, and museums. Currently, as a project manager at Refined Sight, I oversee planning, design, production & installation of corporate signage, environmental graphics, and architectural films.

From 2018 to 2024, I founded and operated Loupe Print, a fine art printing and framing studio in Chicago. Prior, I co-founded Contango, an independent journal of artist's projects and critical writing in Chicago from 2016 to 2020.

I apprenticed under Frank DiPerna and David Adamson in digital printing and under Bill Butler of Archival Art Services in custom framing. I received a BFA in Photojournalism from Corcoran College of Art + Design.
