About
Chris Hytha is a graduate of Drexel University’s 6 year architecture program. From a young age, he dreamed of being an architect, filling sketchbooks with floorplans and perspective drawings through high school. It wasn’t until starting school at Drexel that a passion for photography developed. After working for three years as a designer at Ewing Cole, Chris left his corporate role in favor of the often unpredictable route as an independent artist. Since then, he has produced two large bodies of work, including 100 images of Philadelphia Rowhomes, and 200 images taken by drone of historic skyscrapers across the USA. After completing the Highrises collection, and accompanying art and history book, Chris has now shifted his focus to restoring an 1875 Philadelphia Rowhome that he bought in 2024 as a first time home owner.
