ABOUT ME 

Hey! My name is Chris Ruetten and welcome to my photography website. I am creative photographer based in New York City originally from San Diego, CA with 10 years of professional experience. My photography work is as diverse at the city itself. I have shot New York Fashion Week, Broadway shows and stars, famous Plastic Surgeons, Weddings, Influencers, Concerts, Restaurants, and have worked with brands such as Supergoop, L'Oréal, Bucherer, and B&W. Every day is a like field trip; jobs have taken me to the NASDAQ, the Met Cloisters, the Hamptons, Birdland Jazz Club, Fire Island, Brooklyn, and more!  I am committed to capturing beautiful moments enhanced by my signature post production process. Below are the highlights of my work. I hope we can work together soon!

Supergoop is a prestige sunscreen and SPF brand that I have been able to work with in several capacitites.

From shooting their influencer events to their merchandised products, I have been able to support a company that creates high-quality products that I use everday.

Since the summer of 2020, I have worked with the Neinstein Plastic Surgery and the Neinstein family to provide them elegant images used for ads in magazines, social media content, and office/home physical prints that enhance their professional brand and lives. My work for them has been featured in Hamptons Magazine, GLAMOUR, Haute Beauty, Palm Beach Magazine, and more.
