About
Before he came to the department in 2009 to teach photography and digital media, Christopher Jordan held a faculty position at The Sage Colleges in Albany, New York. In Jordan’s landscape photography, he creates imagery of both real and imaginary places. He specializes in both analog and digital processes, finding resonance in how creativity unfolds through technology. Jordan’s work has appeared in the journal Diffusion: Unconventional Photography; and the photography blogzine Lenscratch. He exhibits nationally and internationally and his work is held in numerous private collections. He has an active workshop practice and has taught at The Center for Photography at Woodstock.
