Christopher Makos (born 1948) is an American photographer and visual artist. He apprenticed with photographer Man Ray in Paris and collaborated with Andy Warhol, whom he showed how to use his first camera. Warhol called Makos the “most modern photographer in America”. Makos would eventually become a central and trusted member of Warholʼs inner circle. For this reason, he features heavily in the Netflix series The Andy Warhol Diaries. His work has been exhibited internationally, including the Guggenheim Bilbao and the Tate Modern in London.
