Hi, I'm Christopher 👋, a photographer based in New Malden, Surrey, England, available for photography services across the surrounding areas.
A passionate natural history photographer with over 50 years of experience, specialising in macro photography and capturing the beauty of the natural world.
Photography began as a teenage interest, inspired by a family connection to the craft and the opportunity to develop and print images in a home darkroom. Over the years, photography has remained a constant passion, evolving from traditional record photography into creating more artistic images that showcase the beauty, detail and character found in nature.
With a particular interest in natural history photography, macro photography and fungi, the work focuses on revealing the intricate details of the natural environment that are often overlooked. Through careful observation and composition, each image aims to highlight the textures, shapes and beauty found in the countryside.
Based in the South of the UK, photography often involves exploring local landscapes and natural habitats, with occasional trips further afield in search of new subjects and photographic opportunities.
A quiet and thoughtful photographer, the greatest enjoyment comes from spending time outdoors with a camera, exploring the countryside and capturing unique moments from the natural world.
Inspired by photographers such as John Shaw and George McCarthy, the aim is always to continue learning, improving and developing a personal photographic style.
With a lifelong interest in photography, computing and natural history, the focus remains on enjoying the creative process, developing new skills and sharing the beauty of the natural world through photography.
