Christian Hopkins is a 22 year old photographer from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. For him, photography has been a means of therapy in a battle with Depression that began when he was 16. Through surreal self-portraiture and photo manipulation, he gives form to the strong emotions with which he has and continues to struggle. To us, Christian remains an inspiration for many young writers and artists out there today who might be going through similar personal experiences.  He is currently enrolled at the University of Pennsylvania studying biochemistry.
