About Opus X Photography

My name is Chris Phillips and I am the owner and operator for Opus X Photography. I have been a professional photographer since 2015 and I have loved the journey. I’m a hard worker and a Joker, so you’ll love the work and the end result I provide!

Opus is latin for work, but not labor, but a work of art, a creation, and that is what I want to bring to you.

I started Opus X Photography as a passion project in 2015. I had always loved taking photos and I was honored to get started as a professional after many years. When I handed over my first wedding album and the bride, a close friend of mine, cried, I knew I had found my calling.

I have always looked at this work as something I love doing and I have always strived to provide great value in what I deliver to you the client. I don’t believe in nickel and dime style add ons, I am not looking to earn my sole living doing this work, I am looking to provide the greater twin cities metro here in Minnesota, a wonderful value and timeless, beautiful photos.

MY STYLE

I try for photos that are classically beautiful, contain vibrant coloring for that pop that people love, the right amount of shadow and contrast, and evoke and capture emotion. These include characteristics like a beautiful creamy background (Called Bokeh), oftentimes a small amount of vignette to bring the attention to what is in focus in a subtle and classic manner, and have the right amount of pop to make your photos stand out without looking fake.

I have a good combination of posed, candid and journalistic style photos for each event. I love to capture beautiful light and angles, making the photos. Much of that work is done on the front end in the moment, but even more is done in the editing room. I believe that every photo that can be delivered should be. My belief is that the photos are as much yours as they are mine, so I do all that I can to capture and deliver masterpieces in every photo.

When looking at photos, you realize their importance when they are all that you have left of an important day, a treasured moment, or a loved one that has passed on. I believe that you should be able to easily see the value that you get from my work, and with such you can see why to go with Opus X Photography over your cousin that bought a consumer DSLR at Best Buy last year.
