CHRIS MOTTALINI

is a Hudson Valley-based photographer, specializing in atmospheric portraits of architecture, interiors and design.

Mottalini’s work has been widely published, commissioned and exhibited.

Chris has photographed special projects about Anais Nin’s former home in LA, Hawaiian Modernism, the George Nakashima family compound, the Louis Armstrong House in Queens, etc. Mottalini is also currently collaborating on a still life project with Nino, his now eight year old son.

 

Mottalini's first book (which set him on the path to becoming a photographer of architecture and interiors) is a final portrait of three demolished Paul Rudolph-designed homes. This was followed by his self-published book, "Land of Smiles", a quiet, strange and surreal exploration of the landscapes of Thailand. Mottalini spends a month in Thailand each year, visiting his wife’s family.

Most recently, Mottalini spent eight months photographing ‘Mountain House’, a new book featuring 21 incredible mountain homes from Patagonia to South Korea to South Africa, etc. 

He lives in the Hudson Valley with his family and Burger the giant corgi.
