Chris Mann (b. 1993) is a photographer from South Yorkshire, currently based in London, UK. Visually distilling the space around him, his work oscillates between the natural and man-made, transient and timeless, creating ambiguous, open-ended images that leave space for the viewer’s imagination.
Working predominantly with black-and-white 35mm film and silver gelatin printing, he processes and hand-prints everything in his East London darkroom. His work has been exhibited across Europe, including the 7th edition of InCadaqués Photo Festival, and featured in publications internationally. He was shortlisted for the Palm* Photo Prize, Bergger Analog Prize, and selected as an emerging European talent by GUP magazine. His book Valley of the Moon was published by Guest Editions.
