Christopher is an artist and architectural photographer, who has recently moved back to his native United Kingdom after 10 years living and working in Hong Kong.
Christopher’s inspirations are drawn from the cinema and the city. The influence of the films of Lynch, Kubrick and Tarkovsky are easily identifiable in his work. His quiet yet cinematic images look to explore the inner life of his subjects. Gently unraveling the confines which surround us all, exposing venerability in darkness and beauty.
His first solo exhibitionSome Dream(2016, Ethos Gallery, HK) combined photographs of people in moments of contemplation and introspection with details and accents of the city in which they live. This combination of inward thought and outward, abstract reflection has a haunting, dream like quality. Using predominantly analogue cameras and 35mm film, Christopher’s images glisten with colour and light.
Christopher was also part of a group show at HK:ID (Light Stage Gallery, HK) during Art Basel week. His work was shown alongside iconic Hong Kong street photographer Fan Ho and a number of international Artists.
In 2017, he was commissioned by the British Council to take 5 photos to be presented for the Queens Birthday Celebrations at the Asia Society. In addition he sold 130 framed photographs to the Fleming Hotel in Wan Chai, to be displayed in their rooms.
In 2021 he acquired representation and a solo exhibition with one of Hong Kong’s most prestigious photography galleries ‘Blue Lotus Gallery’. With the Series The Labyrinth, Christopher captured the quiet, empty and eairy corridors of Hong Kong’s vast underground MTR system during the Covid lockdowns. On the back of a very successful exhibition, Blue Lotus Gallery will be publishing his first photobook at the end of 2022.
As well as fine art photography, Christopher has recently moved into the commercial photography sector photographing beautiful interiors and architecture for both ‘Black Sheep Restaurants’ and ‘M+ museum, as well as a number of leading UK estate agents.
