It’s near impossible to spend any amount of time in the Lake Tahoe region without encountering the photography of Chris Talbot. His images of the lake and its surrounding natural beauty may be found on the walls of hotels (including a large exhibit at the Hyatt Lake Tahoe), restaurants, offices, homes and in gift shops throughout the basin as well as esteemed businesses like Raley's and Nu Leaf. Besides Tahoe, he’s also spent much of his life traveling the world and has wonderful images from throughout northern Europe and Central America as well as rural Nevada and other stateside locales. His photography of Asia is breathtaking and focuses on Vietnam, Thailand, Cambodia and Singapore. Chris excels at real estate, architecture, resort, golf and food photography and has been published in numerous golf, travel and real estate publications. Talbot Photography also shoots portraits and special events around Lake Tahoe and has photographed nearly 1,300 weddings.
