It's always a joy to create with Kris Anderson. Kris is so inventive when planning, theming and styling shoots. His extensive background in theatre means he knows the shorthand to what productions require for marketing and promotion, and what actors and performers need to shine in front of the lens.
Kris relishes challenges, and can take threads of ideas and spin them into creative concepts you might never think of yourself. It goes without saying he's professional at all stages of a shoot, and I have never been anything less than thrilled at his final delivered works.
And despite the incredibly high standard Kris holds himself to, he is always the nicest guy in the room.
Natalie Bochenski, Act React
Kris Anderson is exceptionally skilled, ridiculously generous and one of the nicest human beings you'll ever meet. He is an expert at cultivating a welcoming, collaborative space where you feel safe to try things and experiment until you find that perfect image. Even people who are shy in front of the camera feel utterly encouraged and supported in Kris' studio.
He has such a genuine love for what he does that he just keeps offering suggestions, communicating openly and chasing that perfect hero shot; he wants to find it just as much as you do!
If you're looking for someone to create idiosyncratic, eye-catching, professional images that will not only market your product but remain treasured for many years, look no further. Kris is the best in the business.

Kris Anderson has provided ImproMafia with promotional photography for several years. His approach is imaginative and theatrical, and we can always rely on the images he creates to indicate exactly what an individual show is all about. In fact, his knack for unique, creative approaches has given us a reputation for excellent promotional imagery!
Kris is helpful, easy to work with and genuinely enthusiastic about creating striking, unusual images. It’s my belief that his extensive experience in the performing arts allows him to easily grasp what we’re trying to get across. I’m known to comment after every promotional shoot with Kris that he’s reached his peak and will never be able to top this set of images – and every time, he does. I cannot recommend Kris highly enough.
Amy Currie, Artistic Director, ImproMafia
Kris is an complete professional who really knows performance and comedy.
Kris listened to us and understood what us and our show were about and worked tirelessly to nail the vibe and our excitement. Having limited experience with photoshoots before we didn't know what to expect, but Kris made us feel very relaxed, confident and supported. It ended up being an incredibly fun time!
His images are really high quality and eye catching, which is exactly what we needed to stand out from hundreds of other shows in the festival. His work helped us shine through and we can't thank him enough!

Creating an image that is funny, exciting and arresting is no easy task,
but Kris Anderson has mastered it.
David Massingham, The Sexy Detectives
Creating an image that is funny, exciting and arresting is no easy task, but Kris Anderson has mastered it. The Sexy Detectives have worked with Kris numerous times, and we’ve always found him to be a true creative collaborator.
Kris draws on a wealth of experience, ideas and talent to make sure that every image really pops. Many of our favourite shots originated not from our brief but from Kris’ imagination. He’s blessed with an illustrator’s eye and a lively theatrical sense – qualities that have made him the ideal partner for our comedic weirdness.
Plus, he’s a wiz on the ol’ Photoshop, creating beautiful mind-bending marvels with the click of a few buttons (we can only presume).
It’s pretty easy for The Sexy Detectives to recommend Kris, no matter what the project.

that communicate our style and shows perfectly.

Kris Anderson never fails to deliver outstanding images and he has been fantastic to work with. Kris is always attentive, supportive and pumps so much energy, passion and fun into each session. He has an amazing ability to see the potential in our half-formed ideas and transform them into wonderful eye-catching images that communicate our style and shows perfectly. It really shows that he has worked with the arts and comedy for a long time and knows the ropes!
If you want a photographer who will dive in and get what your work is about, who will listen and work tirelessly to deliver then look no further than Kris.
I booked Kris to shoot promotional images for my sketch comedy show: "Brisburn - Sketch Comedy re: BNE".
From the first telephone conversation, I knew I was in good hands. Kris listened attentively to my ideas and quickly understood what I wanted. Based on his obviously extensive experience, Kris offered helpful insights and gave recommendations to guide me through the process and help me to avoid any pitfalls.
Working with Kris was an absolute hoot and I was extremely pleased with his work! At the end of the day, I felt like I had a "project partner"; not just a service provider.
