Chris Coe has a fascination with natural light, and a passion for nature, landscape, and travel underpin Chris Coe’s photography. His images often have striking simplicity and graphic quality. More recent work has introduced a subtlety with experimentation with both movement and light.
Since turning professional in 1992, Chris’s photography has included landscapes, people, travel, wildlife, architecture, and gardens worldwide. This ability and desire to capture such a diverse range of subjects and explore different types of photography is rare among photographers but demonstrates his understanding of light. Chris finds shooting different subjects and styles both visually stimulating and creatively challenging.
