Chris
says,
"Photographs,
for me, are about
capturing
a moment that speaks
of what
came before and all
that
may come after - so that in a
sense
it becomes a timeless image
rather
than a frozen moment in time.
My photographs
will still depict the
trappings
of a particular decade or
event
but my motivation is to
capture
this timeless quality
of the
moment and
express
a continuum....A good negative is just the starting point for the eventual
image.
I believe
the mood and atmosphere
of a
place reside in the viewer
so it
is my response to these
ingredients
of the moment
that
determines how I work
the
final image. I try to keep my
composition
simple, with strong
subjects
in dramatic lighting and
as little
clutter as possible.
For
me the finished picture comes
first
and the subject second.
What
I photograph is only a starting point.
I hope
my images have a sense of the
uncanny
or exotic about them.
They
should make magic the
world
we think we know."
