Christopher Boffoli (born in 1969 in Worcester, Massachusetts)[1] is a fine art photographer, photojournalist,[2] independent filmmaker, and journalist[3][4] based in Seattle.

His photos have been published in dozens of countries around the world, and are displayed in galleries and private collections in the United States, Canada, Europe, and Asia.

[6][7] After recovering from a fall during a climbing expedition of Mount Rainier in which he suffered a broken leg and nerve and tendon damage, he decided that a career in academia was not as fulfilling as "doing creative things" and focused his energy on the arts.

[8] Inspired by childhood films and television shows – especially those showing tiny people in a normal-sized world – and by a 2002 London Chapman Brothers exhibit featuring dioramas of war scenes and Martin & Muñoz's work "Travelers", he began a photography series of tiny people in a food world.

[25][26] One of Boffoli's photos was the cover image of the Spring 2013 issue of Lucky Peach, the quarterly journal of food writing,[7] and his photographs were featured on The New York Times "What We're Reading" segment of its Dining & Wine section in June 2013.
