Chris' work - often with a focus on social injustice, conservation and the environment - is honest, unexpected and captures the essence of people and their culture, never failing to place dignity on the subject. He shares colourful stories from communities around the world using natural light, often shot from unexpected angles.
When not travelling, you'll find him pitching his next story.
