Chris McVeigh is an author, illustrator and photographer living in Halifax, NS.


He got his start in photography in 2007, when a friend insisted that he purchase a digital SLR. Chris was a natural, applying the same principles to photography as he did to his design work.


He now excels at creating clever, quirky and often comical pictures that employ everything from action figures to backyard wildlife. (In fact, a combination of the two garnered the attention of Lucasfilm, who featured his picture on the front page of starwars.com!)


Chris has recently found a niche composing unique editorial photos for Gizmodo.com. Editors propose an idea and he works to realize their vision in Lego.


In addition to photography, Chris is an accomplished technical writer, who started his own digital magazine in the early days of the Internet. He now regularly contributes to Macworld.


Chris is also a talented illustrator who has created artwork for several major advertising campaigns. Although he has worked for a number of companies, the bulk of his efforts have been for Microsoft, contributing to many of the company’s online campaigns from 2006-2009.

Chris McVeigh, trying to look very serious. In those glasses. Who’s he kidding?
