Biography: Christopher Gruver's career in modeling was the beginning of his education on the visual art of photography. Working with so many talented fashion photographers encouraged his eye for photography to bloom. While living in Boulder, Colorado, Gruver discovered his intuitive work with botanical photography. “When I photograph a flower, there is a communication that develops between my subject and myself. This unique and living dynamic is what I hope to share with the viewer. If the viewer can sense that which lives in and is available to us in these plants, then my work is successful. I have also come to realize that our respective arts have the ability to cultivate awareness and peace.” www.christophergruver.com
