The Haus of Chr'Jor

Born in Chicago Illinois, Kaori Semaj, born Jordan Cotton is best known for both his creativeness and his keen eye for design. Growing up in a home that set its foundation with a deep rooting in the arts, he always knew that he would find his lifes work in the creative realm. At a very young age, Kaori began using his family and friends as guinea pigs to practice his drawing, painting, and photographic practices. However it wasnt until Kaori, still a student in high school, was offered a job with Lifetouch Portraits and later another job with CPI as a part time photographer, that he began to look at photography as a potential career.

Kaori's work is centered on, but not limited to, Fashion Photography, Fashion Film, Production, and Graphic Design

With aspirations of owning a multi-business empire complete with a chain of portrait studios, dance studios, fashion boutiques, hair salons, cafés, art galleries, museums, theaters, and fine and performing arts schools, all under his name, at the modest age of nineteen, Kaori now owns the corporation governing his multi-business empire entitled The Haus of chrJor Inc., one of the very first full visual arts companies. The Haut Photography Brand is the first of his many businesses.

Welcome to his legacy, and from the young entrepreneur/ visual artist himself, "Welcome to my Haus."

The world can’t hold me, too much ambition.. Always knew it’d be like this when I was in the kitchen.
