About Me

My name is Chris. 
I'm a photographer/designer based in Harrogate, North Yorkshire.  I have a degree in Film Studies from the University of Portsmouth.  As a cinematographer on a number of student films this is where my first love of photography reared it's head.  I found I was far more interested in how the shot actually looked and felt than creating the story itself.  By having a background in shooting films I always strive to create images that tell stories and engage the viewer.
Here you will find a selection of what I think are my best photographs, all are available as limited edition prints.  A larger collection can be viewed on flickr.
I have yet to develop a unique style to my photography as I am a strong believer in soaking up as many styles as I come across in the search for my own uniqueness.  With that in mind, I'm completely open to any style you would need or want.  I think by opening myself up to be creative within any style I have become a better and more flexible photographer.
All photographs are taken by myself (also the ones with me in them) and all post-processing is done by me.
I am self-taught.
I finally fell completely in love with photography in May of 2008, when I got a Nikon D40 from my parents as a birthday present.
There is nothing I would rather do.
