What fascinates Chris Brooks about photography is the process of creating an image. Combining technical skill with an acute knowledge of the language of photography his ethos is to find ways to present images that whilst authentic take the subject matter to another level. His vision is to always create a story around his subject matter.
His work within the fields of fashion, luxury and advertising along with his own personal projects is always deeply layered, evocative and atmospheric. An image of an object is never just a still life; it will always have a back-story. When shooting a landscape he doesnāt want you just to view the photograph but feel as though you could be part of that narrative.
He works withĀ brandsĀ such asĀ American Express, Bucherer, Calvin Klein, Chanel, Gucci Beauty, Jimmy Choo, Louis Vuitton, Michael Kors, Miu Miu, and Tommy Hilfiger. Editorially, he has collaborated with British Vogue, HTSI, POP, T Magazine, V Magazine, and Wallpaper.Ā Chris also publishes high quality art editions from a small press entitled āThe Brooks Press, a family business of his since the late 1800ās, reimagined over a century later to produce process led books and editions.
