CJ Chilvers

I'm CJ Chilvers, a writer and photographer from the Chicago area. I currently spend most of my time writing and being a father. When time allows, I publish books and articles across a wide range of topics I care about.

My latest book is A Lesser Photographer, which proposes the best way to improve your photography is to focus on your ideas, not your technique or gear.

Here's a few examples of my work. Subscribe to my VIP list to keep in touch and get updates on new projects. Thanks!
