Chris Szczypala is a New Jersey based camera operator and photographer. Chris developed a passion for photography shortly after enrolling in a class during high school, and this new hobby sparked a career interest. Chris and his close friends were heavily involved with action/motorsports and he always brought his camera along to document. He practiced his photography and dove into the field of video production while meeting many great people along the way.

     Chris graduated from William Paterson University with a bachelor's degree in communication and media production. While attending college, he worked in the marketing department of Mountain Creek Resort in Vernon, NJ as a creative producer. From print ads to broadcast television commercials, he was responsible for creating a wide-range of marketing materials for the ski resort, waterpark, bike park, lodging, restaurants, and more.

      During the spring of 2016, Chris became the media coordinator for the sales and marketing department of Monticello Motor Club, a 4.1-mile private racetrack nestled in the Catskills of New York. In 2021, Chris became Creative Director and oversees all creative for their website and social media, CRM, app and much, much more. Chris was the Director of Photography for the web series, "RADVentures" presented by Hagerty, and has also operated camera for the MotorTrend TV show, "Hot Rod Garage".

     Going beyond the visual, Chris has a background in music and is an avid percussionist. Because of this, he is able to couple various styles of music with video editing to accentuate emotion into his work.
