Chris Applegate is a professional photographer who travels throughout central New Jersey and along the Jersey Shore capturing the beauty of nature both large and small. He started off by photographing as a hobby, he would shoot photos of his family and friends during trips and parties. The family noticed he has an eye for photography and suggested him to go professional. Chris has always been self taught. Without ever taking a course in photography, Chris first had to learn the inter-workings of the camera as well as different types of lenses and other photo equipment. Chris then learned how to utilize the the settings and equipment in his favor to capture even more stunning photos.

Chris now volunteers in shooting action shots for his future cousin in-law's mud run called MudManX (similar to "Tough Mudder"). He searches for photographers to help him with coverage for the 5 mile course with 20+ obstacles. You may see his work including his MudManX work on his website http://www.ChrisApplegate.com.
