Some moments only happen once. The joy. The heartbreak. The shimmer of light in someone's eye that tells you everything about who they are. I became a photographer because I couldn't stop chasing them.

I’m Chris Cloonan, a long-tenured event logistics professional now working in the educational space and focusing on expanding my love for photography.

What I'm after is that once in a lifetime frame. The athlete who just gave everything. The musician losing themselves in a song. And in a portrait, that quiet connection between a person and the lens that brings the love of themselves to the surface.

That's what I'm chasing. Every single time.
