Bio
Matthew Dicker
It's not often that you come across an individual that is as hard-working and detail oriented as Chris. I had the absolute pleasure of working with Chris this past year on the Dal Student Life Street Team, where Chris was a photographer and I acted as the Social Media Coordinator. Chris and I collaborated on a variety of photo-based projects that we believed would engage our community and grow our network. For each and every project Chris undertook, he approached it with an open mind and a wealth of creativity. When I was stuck on an issue, Chris would be first to recommend a solution. I was particularly impressed by his vast knowledge of photography. Chris was able to make a beautiful photo opportunity out of anything and consistently ensured that his photos accurately captured the event or situation he was shooting. I would recommend Chris for any future photography work.
