Christopher Kennedy was born in London, England, 15 July 1954. He is a British music editor and photographer. He moved to the United States in 1986.
Kennedy spent many years as a music editor, working on over 70 Hollywood feature films in Los Angeles, California. He was nominated for one Emmy Award in 2009, as part of the sound editing team on The Courageous Heart of Irena Sendler, and three Golden Reel Sound Awards for “Unfaithful,” “De-Lovely” and “Rameses”, and collaborated with composer Jan AP Kaczmarek on the Oscar winning score for the movie “Finding Neverland”.
Kennedy moved to Bucks County Pennsylvania in 2002 to concentrate on fine art photography. After noticing a unique effect that was created by photographing harbor lights in 2008, Kennedy developed a technique he calls Photo Luminism. These images are made entirely in camera in one exposure, with no post-production. The abstracted images are hot-printed onto specially treated metal, a process that maximises the appearance of light emanating from within the image, on an entirely flat and mirror-like surface. You can see his work in exclusive hotels all over the globe.
Kennedy’s 2016 proposal for the New Hope Arts Outdoor Sculpture Contest was “Exhibitionist”. It was based on three of his Photo Luminism photos. Kennedy and Mark Hutzky then built opaque fiberglass. The larger than life three-piece sculpture is internally illuminated by almost 2000 animated LEDs. It was installed in New Hope PA in October 2019.
Kennedy comes from a family of artists. His great grandfather was T. C. Farrer, a Ruskinian painter, who co-founded the American Pre-Raphaelite movement called Society for the Advancement of Truth in Art. Kennedy’s nephew Damian Elwes, a painter, and Tessa Kennedy, an interior designer, are his sisters. His cousins, sisters Venetia Epler and Daphne Huntington, were Californian artists whose work is represented in several permanent collections and at Forest Lawn, Covina Hills CA and Woodlawn Memorial Park, Orlando FL.
