Bringing people together is what I do well. My name is Christopher Stricklen. I’ve worked in luxury retail for a decade which feeds my appetite for meeting new people everyday. The space I work in also gives me the exposure and education to storytelling and looking at things with a detailed eye.

My line of work along with other life experiences have brought me into the world of photography. Most of my time is spent shooting street photography but I also love to make photographs of people - families, engagements and fashion.

The ultimate goal for Common Theme is to share with you things that intrigue me, people that inspire me and, of course, share these things with you. This is the Common Theme. I hope you enjoy.
