Kristopher Grunert was born and raised on the family farm on Orkney Road, a short drive northwest of Yorkton. His parents, sister and he lived on land first established as the Grunert homestead in 1888. Farming, however, was not in Kris’ future. As a teenager he developed a keen interest in skateboarding, then a relatively new sport in Yorkton, and that led him to Vancouver to pursue that dream.
As it turned out, the skateboarding dream clashed with reality, but it did lead to a career and wide recognition in the field of photography that now spans 25 years, in which time he has won numerous international photography awards, has worked for large corporations and architectural firms, and has shown his work around the globe.
Kris is now back in Saskatchewan, with his wife, where they have expanded their business and struck out in several new directions.
