Mister Lynch
B. 1975 D. Not Yet
It all started in a janitor’s closet.
At 14 years old, Christopher M. Lynch converted a forgotten space in his Maine high school into a darkroom—and launched his first company, Instilled Images, with one goal: to create images that linger in the mind long after the moment passes. By 19, his lens had already turned to rock royalty and the Pope.
Before he even graduated college, Lynch was recruited by advertising giant Young & Rubicam to help build one of the industry’s first all-digital photo studios—becoming a creative force behind the camera well before the age of 21.
Today, Lynch is the founder and creative director of MISTER LYNCH, a full-service production company known for its cinematic campaigns and character-driven storytelling. He has collaborated with top-tier talent and delivered iconic imagery for brands like Sony, Bud Light, OfficeMax, GAF, and the Jamaican Olympic Bobsled Team.
Renowned for his original perspective and ability to bring any concept to life, Lynch has been called a “Swiss Army Knife” of creative production—trusted for both his vision and execution. His work has not only made waves in the advertising world but also in fine art. He was named an Artist in Residence at the Museum of Arts and Design in New York, and currently holds an immersive residency with audio icon McIntosh at their private experience space, House of Sound.
His latest collaboration with The Dream Hotel brings his extensive photographic archive into a new dimension: the ARCHIVE ORIGINALS Penthouse Suite, an evolving installation celebrating art, music, and memory.
Whether behind the camera or shaping entire visual campaigns, MISTER LYNCH remains committed to creating bold, unforgettable imagery—and leaving a lasting imprint on every frame.
