Chris Brooks is fascinated by the process of creating an image. Combining technical precision with an acute understanding of the language of photography, his approach is rooted in finding ways to elevate the authentic – creating images that are both honest and visually compelling. At the heart of his practice is a desire to build narratives, crafting stories that extend beyond the frame.
Working across fashion, luxury, advertising, and personal projects, Chris creates imagery that is richly layered, evocative, and atmospheric. A still life is never simply an arrangement of objects but an invitation into an imagined history, while his landscapes are designed not only to be seen, but to immerse the viewer in the narrative they evoke.
His clients include American Express, Bergdorf Goodman, Bucherer, Calvin Klein, Chanel, Gucci Beauty, Jimmy Choo, Louis Vuitton, Michael Kors, Miu Miu, Tommy Hilfiger, and Veronica Beard. His editorial work has appeared in American Vogue, British Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar Italia, d la Repubblica, HTSI, 10 Magazine, POP, T Magazine, The Blend Magazine, V Magazine, and Wallpaper.
Alongside his commercial and editorial practice, Chris publishes fine art books and limited-edition prints through The Brooks Press a family printing business dating back to the late 1800s, reimagined over a century later as a platform for beautifully crafted, process-led books and editions. The press reflects his enduring fascination with the physicality of image-making and the timeless craft of print.
