About me

Chris's stories often depict people's physical or mental fortitude combined with emotion and dynamic movement. His images bring stories to life with strong contrast, controlled lighting and eye-catching but refined post-production techniques.

Chris's diverse skill has taken him from shooting in hailstorms in the UK, to recording the experiences of those affected by the conflict in north-east Nigeria. His intimate storytelling makes people the agents of their own stories, and his eye-catching images have helped a wide range of national and international organisations tell their story to an international audience.

Born in the United Kingdom but raised in South Africa during the last decade of apartheid, and a member of the LGBT community, Chris has developed a powerful sense of how inequalities impact the human experience. He sees visual storytelling as the bridge between empathy and change, and the enduring popularity of photography makes it a key medium to build that bridge. He believes photographers have a moral obligation to depict the stories they tell with dignity and that photography will be one of the core mediums in helping to create a fairer world. In order to do that, it has to be anti-racist and focus on systemic solutions to the climate crisis.

Currently, Chris is creating a new portfolio of work which reflect some of the urgent issues we face as a planet, highlighting the challenges and solutions we need to take on.

Chris's imagery has been published in a wide range of national and international platforms and has been the recipient of several panel awards such as National Geographic and Practical Photography.
