Simply Black & White with Chris Upton.

As requested by MANY people within the Camversation community, I'm pleased to have Chris Upton joining to talk about his black and white photography.

From Chris:

Whilst the majority of my work is in colour my photographic journey started with black and white. I’ll never forget the magic of seeing those prints appear in the developing tray. In these digital days I am increasingly drawn towards the simple beauty of monochrome which strips away the confusion of colour and asks us to appreciate the light, tone, texture and detail in our images.

About Chris:

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 and international 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 his work is sold to clients around the world.

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 knowledge, 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 talk will be recorded and made available for two weeks.
