Kristopher Grunert was born in 1978 on the family farm in Saskatchewan of 125 years. Grunert credits the prairie environment for developing his vision, spatial sense, and cultivating a understanding of how to work within the Earth's cycles. His work is provoked by an observation of structures and systems that connect us; bridges, viaducts, buildings, and nature. The intention of his work is to document and reinterpret conventional perceptions of space, turning the ordinary into extraordinary blurring the lines between reality and fiction.

"For me photography is all about journey, exploration and a pursuit of knowledge. I intuitively follow my camera which leads me to new places and always teaches me something new. In that pursuit of personal discovery, the photographs document the journey and hopefully becomes inspiration for others to follow the passions."

Kristopher's commercial assignments have taken him to 5 continents allowing him to explore and capture vastly different environments. From industrial sites in Canada, USA, Mexico, Chile, UK, to architectural gems in Europe and China. Grunert's work has received multiple awards. The Lucie Foundation has awarded him 1st place in the International Photography Awards for two consecutive years; first for his time-lapse project, "My City Moves Me" in the moving image category and more recently his Industria series in the industrial category. His architectural work has been recognized by Applied Arts and was also a Hasselblad Masters Finalist in 2008.

Kristopher has been commissioned by an impressive list of ad/design agencies, architectural/ engineering firms, corporations and publications. To view portfolio, click web link below.
