We have previously had the pleasure of hearing Chris present to our Club – and he went down very well indeed!
Chris Upton is a professional photographer, based in Nottinghamshire (UK), specialising in Travel, Landscape and Social Documentary photography.
He is an Associate of the Royal Photographic Society and is proud to be a brand ambassador for Fujifilm.
Chris has received awards in national photographic competitions and has twice been commissioned to photograph in Thailand on behalf of the Tourism Authority of Thailand. His images are represented by several international stock agencies and clients have used them worldwide across many different sectors.
He has also exhibited many times both in a solo capacity and also as part of the Masters of Vision collective. In 2016 Chris presented a major social documentary project recording the final year of Thoresby Colliery, the last pit in Nottinghamshire, to widespread critical acclaim.
Chris’s ability to connect and communicate, passing on his learning’s, means that he is in great demand as a speaker and as a tutor on his workshops and tours in the UK and abroad.
“Two of my great passions in life are travel and photography. I have been fortunate to travel widely and it is an amazing experience to observe and photograph a variety of cultures, people and landscapes. I hope that through my photographs I can bring a little of this to the viewer and inspire others to enjoy the beauty and diversity of the world for themselves”.
This presentation really does have something for everyone, with a broad selection of images from around the world and close to home. The lecture contains many examples of how I work to develop the image in the field or in post processing to achieve the desired result.
