Chris Spackman
Photographer
Chris Spackman works experimentally, pushing the creative potential of analogue photography, his work explores time, memory and loss. Using various narrative structures he seeks to subvert the still quality of the single photographic image representing simple changes over time through his process and frequently rendering the ordinary, monumental. His research is based in the foundations of conceptual art practices and is informed by a number of different art movements including the still life painters from 17th century Europe.

A great deal of attention is paid to the finished print and how it is presented, using archival methodology.

He completed his BA(Hons) Photography in 2011 with a First Class award, and is currently enrolled upon a postgraduate MFA in Photography due to commence in September 2011 at the University for the Creative Arts in Farnham, Surrey.

In 2010 he was shortlisted in the Association of Photographers Student Awards and has been successful in other competitions, exhibiting work at various locations in the UK. Work has also been published in books, online art, fashion and lifestyle sites and a calendar

He has recently achieved success with the Prime Minister's Initiative (PMI2) Award – International Student Project based at the national Institute of Design in Ahmedabad, India.

The work on this site is a showcase of his conceptually based projects and also other photographs made for commissions,competitions and for fun.
