Name Christopher Kennedy | ||
Christopher Kennedy is a British music editor who moved to the United States in 1985.
Kennedy spent many years as a music editor, working on over 50 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 has collaborated with composer Jan AP Kaczmarek.
Kennedy moved to Bucks County Pennsylvania in 2002 to concentrate on fine art photography. He developed a technique, which he calls Photo Luminism, after noticing an effect created when taking pictures of harbor lights in 2008. Images are created entirely in-camera in a single exposure and with no creative post additions. 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.
Family
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 is painter Damian Elwes and his sister is the interior designer Tessa Kennedy. His cousins, sisters Venetia Epler and Daphne Huntington, were Californian artists whose work is represented in several permanent collections such as the Mary Pickford Collection and the Richard Nixon Library.
