Hello, I’m Chris
I’m a photographer based in North Wales and my work explores light, shadow, and reflections, transforming everyday scenes into layered visual stories.
My work sits between observation and interpretation, focusing on fragments of scenes rather than complete views. I’m drawn to images that invite a slower way of looking, uncovering quiet, often overlooked moments within familiar surroundings.
Photography was a big part of my graphic design education at art school, but after graduating I didn’t pick up a camera again for nearly twenty-five years – until recently rediscovering it.
A fluent Welsh speaker, I'm originally from The Isle of Anglesey and live on the North Wales coast with my partner Emma.
Photography
As much as I would love to travel to far-flung places around the planet, the photographs on this website were not captured in exotic locations or world-famous cities – they were taken close to home, in my local area.
My work is rooted in the belief that compelling stories and striking images can be found anywhere, especially in the familiar places we often overlook. Overall, my approach to photography is more interpretive than pure documentary.
Ongoing Projects
The Space Between
I’m currently working on various long-term photography projects, most notably 'The Space Between', which is an ongoing street photography project exploring moments seen through glass. Reflections and transparency merge to create layered scenes where people, light, and movement overlap in unexpected ways. By focusing on these in-between spaces, the work captures fragments of everyday life that are partially hidden, briefly revealed, and open to interpretation.
Bridging The Tide
'Bridging The Tide' is an early phase project focusing on form, light, movement, and structure around the Conwy harbour and quayside. Working in black and white, I’ve been drawn less to literal description and more to abstraction, where water, stone, steel, and passing life become shifting shapes, tones, and rhythms. The bridges near the castle and surrounding landscape act as a loose anchor rather than a fixed subject, while movement from people, wildlife and moving conveyances introduces a changing dynamic within the frame.
A Coast Half-Seen
'A Coast Half-Seen' is a new project exploring the North Wales coastline through moments where visibility is disrupted, obstructed, or only partially available. Focusing on the towns of Llandudno and Conwy, the work traces how the sea, built environment, buildings and landmarks – along with passersby, wildlife, and moving vehicles – are repeatedly interrupted by railings, walls, weather, and framing objects within the landscape itself. Rather than seeking a clear or panoramic view, the project stays with fragments, where what is seen is always contingent, unstable, and incomplete.
