Christopher Deutschler is a thinker and creative based in Atlanta. Drawn to both cars and cameras since childhood, he’s spent years exploring the space where machinery and humanity meet, always searching for the story that lingers just beyond the obvious.

His work lives in the in-between moments: the tension before a corner on track, the quiet stillness after a rally, the fleeting conversations with strangers met on the road. Whether chasing light through city streets or following the dust of an off-road convoy, he uses the camera less as a tool of documentation and more as a way of asking questions about speed, connection, and place.

Travel has shaped his practice as much as the machines he photographs. From backroads in Georgia to far-off landscapes abroad, Christopher brings a curiosity for what unfolds when people, vehicles, and environments collide. Each frame is a fragment of that exploration, an attempt to capture not only what something looks like, but how it feels to be there.

Every journey needs a co-pilot, and mine came from a local shelter. Ansel wasn’t the easy choice—wild, excitable, and the kind of dog many people said I shouldn’t keep. But from the start, I felt the bond between us. I believed he had more to give than others could see, and together we grew into that trust.

Over the years, Ansel has become more than a dog —— he’s a steady, committed companion. Whether it’s the desert, the swamp, the mountains, or the beach, he meets each new place head-on, eager to explore and ready for whatever comes next. Loyal, fearless, and full of energy, Ansel is the four-legged constant at my side — a reminder that with patience and commitment, even the most restless spirit can become your best adventure buddy.
