Seeking out the road less travelled.
In search of vestiges from the old world.
Christopher is a travel photographer and writer based in London. His professional and personal work take him to remote and off the beaten track locations across Africa, Asia and the Middle East.
Through his photography, Christopher is interested in exploring less well documented and often misunderstood parts of the world in an effort to build bridges of interest and understanding between distant cultures. Ultimately, he wishes for his photographs to encourage others to take the road less travelled and explore, experience and encounter new places, people and cultures.
Christopher's work has been featured in magazines and newspapers around the world including National Geographic, The Guardian, CNN, Financial Times, BBC, China Daily and Der Spiegel amongst others.
Christopher had his first exhibition at the Institut Française in Antananarivo, Madagascar, in November 2016. His second exhibition - The Artisans of al-Darb al-Ahmar: Life and Work in Historic Cairo - was exhibited at London's Royal Geographical Society in April 2018. The same exhibition was shown at Philanthropy House in Brussels between January and April 2019 and opened in Bad Ischl in Austria on 4th September 2021. The exhibition will tour Ottawa, Toronto and Vancouver in 2022.
Between July and November 2019, Christopher travelled from London to Beijing overland working a project about the Silk Road. This exhibition – The Silk Road: A Living History – was shown in London’s King’s Cross between 8 April until 22 August 2021 and then at the Aga Khan Park in Toronto between October 2021 until May 2022. The exhibition, created in partnership with the Aga Khan Foundation, aims to share the wonders of the Silk Road with broader audiences, celebrate the diversity of cultural expressions found across Eurasia, highlight examples of how historical practices, rituals and customs live on today, and also reveal some of the connections between what appear, at first glance, to be very different cultures. A book featuring photographs presented at the exhibition will be published in September 2024.
