A local of Virginia Beach Virginia since 1985 - Founder, owner and photographer Asbjorn "Chris" Carlson began his photography career in 1982 in Keflavik Iceland and has been using Nikon cameras and gear since day one.  

Iceland and its natural beauty created the "perfect storm" of photo opportunities and a chance to capture some amazing landscape and architectural photos.
​
Returning to the U.S., Chris entered the real estate business in 2003, found the perfect niche in real estate photography and HomeOptix was created a few years later. Commercial photography was added a few years later and word of mouth grew fast.  Over the last several years he has worked with prestigious companies like Hilton, Marriott, Greystar, The Heart Of America foundation and the large majority of real estate brokerages in the United States.
​
With over 40+ years of photography experience, the key to his process is an understanding of intelligent compositions, natural lighting and his passion for all photography as an art-form.
