Chris’s diverse skill has taken him from shooting in hailstorms in the UK, to recording the experiences of those affected by conflict in northeast Nigeria. His intimate storytelling makes people the agents of their own stories, and his eye-catching images have helped a wide range of national and international organisations bring their stories to life.
