Meet your teacher
Chris is a photographer, artist and educator who has been taking photos for over 15 years. He bought his first camera to photograph his pet fish as a teenager, and in his early twenties, left behind aspirations of being an investment banker to pursue his real passion - photography.
Chris’ work is held in numerous public collections, including LACMA (Los Angeles Country Museum of Art), Macquarie Bank, and the Muswellbrook Regional Art Centre. He has won several awards, most recently the 2023 Mullins Conceptual Photography Prize, and exhibits regularly across Australia.
Chris splits his time between teaching and taking photos. Outside of teaching at Kindred Cameras, Chris lectures at RMIT in the subjects ‘Photography 101’ and ‘Alternative Photographic Processes’. He also works in the technically demanding field of artwork documentation, where he translates mediums like paintings and sculptures into compelling photographic images.
Chris is experienced with all major camera brands, and there aren’t to many questions he hasn’t been asked. He loves the excitement that comes from students discovering their own talent, and feels lucky that he gets to encourage people to explore their creativity everyday.
He also feels awkward writing about himself in the third person.
