ABOUT ARTWORKS

By age nine I was taking my own photographs, with an ancient Kodak No1-A folding camera that belonged to my Grandfather,’ processing the film myself and making prints..’

 

Career

I have spent the majority of my career working as a freelance ‘creative’, writer and director making TV commercials and brand content films. 

I currently work as a freelance photographer, writer/creative and director based in Cornwall but working internationally.

 

About My Work

‘By age nine I was taking my own photographs, with an ancient Kodak No1-A folding camera that belonged to my Grandfather,’ processing the film myself and making prints..’

For me landscape photography is about revealing, evoking the spirit, or capturing the evanescent mood and moment of a place - its power, drama, beauty or serenity, whatever I happen to feel about it at that instant.  This influences what and how I shoot or treat the subject whether abstract colour images or traditional monochrome.

My Black and White photography, in particular, is inspired by the dark, tempestuous, beauty and drama of Cornwall.

My colour photographic artworks are more meditative abstractions of the landscape reducing it to its basic elements.

Chris’s work has been sold to leading fashion designers, architects, models and collectors and described  as 'nothing short of spiritual', 'exquisite', 'beautiful, hypnotic and incredibly calming', ‘evocative and meditative’.
