Chris works with digital and film mediums, including many alternative photographic processes such as the Cyanotype, and also experiments with ‘toy’ and ‘homemade’ cameras such as the Holga and the pin-hole. In this age of high tech equipment many artists see the vignetting, light leaks, uneven focal planes, poor quality lens design, low pixel count etc. not as faults but as the aesthetic potential of these 'tools' and Christopher has long been seduced by the style of imagery that can be obtained by using such ‘cameras’.

Chris draws his inspiration from philosophy, film and music. He believes that how we see ourselves, and how we are objectified by the camera, is an existential rationale and his work is an attempt to explore this belief. Given that he is also a writer, and because he sees in photography a strong link to literature, it should come as no surprise to find that his photographs are made to work in series so as to create a visual narrative. His choice of everyday locations for the photographs are deliberately intended to emphasise the theatrical.
