About the author
Chris Holmes is a London-based photographer, born and raised in Nottingham. While he dreamed of a creative career in his youth, he followed a more traditional path, becoming involved in London’s live-music scene as a drummer in his spare time. He fell in love with photography on a trip to New York in 2014, as he explored Manhattan with his iPhone and found cinematic qualities on every street corner. He is naturally attracted to scenes with a high contrast of light and dark and learned his craft through trial and error, studying and experimenting.
His dramatic images have gained him international attention, from inclusion in publications with Mendo (Amsterdam) and Trope (Chicago) to displayed pieces in an exhibition curated by Art of Visuals (New York).
Summary
Chris Holmes: Hidden in Chaos pairs Chris's cinematic images with the words of 18 poets of various backgrounds, adding more layers of texture and meaning to the complex but devoted relationship that London's residents and visitors have with the city's many faces.
