About

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 world, creating ambiguous, open-ended images that trigger curiosity, escapism, and invite the viewers imagination to freely wander.

Working predominantly with black-and-white 35mm film and silver gelatin printing, he processes and hand-prints everything out of his East London darkroom. His work has been exhibited across Europe and featured in a range of publications globally. 

"For me, photography is all about imagination. Through my work, I seek what I refer to as the 'interzone' - a visual space where universal dichotomies intersect: man and nature, light and dark, silence and noise, transience and timelessness, reality and imagination."
