Chris is a photographer living in the Southern Highlands, NSW. He started his professional career as a photographer and gained experience across a wide range of disciplines.

Over recent years, part time art and photography studies with international mentorship groups introduced Chris to a range of new photographic techniques. These techniques enabled him to express more effectively what he saw in the world around him.

While Chris enjoys many different styles of photography, creating abstract images has been his primary focus for several years.

Of course, every photographer needs an assistant. Billy, a West Highland Terrier, was Chris’s constant companion for over 16 years, and while he never learnt much about photography, he certainly knew how to make Chris laugh every day.

How Strangley Still (Port Macquarie), is apart of Chris’s Ebb & Flow series.

“As I’ve researched locations for this project I have learnt more of the long history of use of our coastal regions and the fertile river estuaries.”

“Those regions have meant many things to many people, from the First People of Australia to the diverse range of inhabitants of more recent times. From written and oral histories, it’s clear that past inhabitants perceived these places very differently according to their needs.”

“My goal with the collection is for viewers of this work to experience the emotions, and the sense of place that inhabitants past and present might have felt.”

“The works in this new collection hover on the border between abstract and descriptive, the ICM technique enables me to remove conscious distractions while evoking the emotion I experienced at these places.”
