“I was always looking for the best way to capture the true essence of what I was seeing and feeling. I bought my first camera back in spring 2015 while living abroad, little did I know then I would be hosting my second exhibition ten years later in my hometown,” he says.
Using hours of tutorials and testimonials, he was constantly learning and trying to master different aspects of his craft. In this exhibition Christopher is experimenting with a new photography technique; Intentional Camera Movement. This technique involves using a slow shutter speed and moving the camera in various ways to produce unique, blurred, and streaked effects.
‘Ethereal’ is something that resonates deeply with his approach to photography, calmness, serenity and less obtrusion.
“I think it really suits the type of photography that I do and that I enjoy looking at…I like kind of moody images, I like kind of imperialist work.”
The exhibition which opened on June 23 has already received positive responses from the public.
“People seem to really enjoy the images. And anyone I’ve met, I’ve been in and out occasionally with nothing but complimentary things to say. I have a visitors book on display, and people have been leaving some fantastic messages. It’s really inspiring.”
