I’m Christopher Pike, an editorial and commercial photographer with over two decades of experience spanning various photography genres. I’ve worked on news, sports, portraits, events, and commercial commissions throughout my career, allowing me to adapt and refine my skills across diverse settings. Born to Trinidadian parents, I was raised in Spain and Canada, where I developed my passion for photography and began my career.

Since 2011, I’ve been based in the United Arab Emirates, working on assignments throughout the Middle East and Asia. I’ve collaborated with international media outlets, corporations, and governments, leveraging my background in photojournalism. Over the years, I’ve held newspaper staff positions and worked as a stringer and contract photographer for global news agencies. My work has been featured in major publications worldwide through partnerships with Bloomberg, Reuters, the Associated Press, and Getty Images.

I enjoy the challenge of applying visual storytelling techniques to commercial photography and take pride in consistently delivering impactful images. I’m known for my reliability, especially when meeting tight deadlines on high-stakes projects for global brands.
