My name is Chris Hytha. I grew up in a small town suburb outside of Philadelphia, and I was always fascinated by the city as a kid. Chasing this curiosity, I moved to the city to start Architecture school at Drexel in 2015. In my first few years of school I loved going out into the city to explore, and that naturally led me to pick up a camera to capture my adventures. My study of architecture heavily influences my vision for photography, and oftentimes I am more interested in exploring “what could be” rather than “what is.”
About The Collection
This set of images is an exploration in light, atmosphere and scale in the city of Philadelphia. Very simple compositions often feel the most powerful to me, and I take a minimal approach to what is included in the frame. Additionally, there is a layer of surreality and fantasy throughout the set, with photoshop being used to accentuate reality.
