Reunions is all about people and emotions – and oh boy, there are so many emotions in these photos! It’s also about recreating photos in clever ways, like this photo with a donkey. Therefore, the lack of Photoshop skills isn’t even an issue in my book. If I may offer personal insight, I believe that this kind of project isn’t about technical flawlessness or groundbreaking editing techniques. There is no substitute for getting it right first time in the camera.” I do not use flash and I am hopeless at Photoshop so do minimal editing with the camera software.
“I entered the digital age with a Canon EOS 1000D, 60D, 70D and finally a 5D M111 as I often photograph in low light and adverse weather. “It helps to have good gear but mainly it’s about putting the miles in, being there, and seeing potential.” “I am a very minor untechnical amateur that just dabbles at it so I have to keep it simple,” Chris writes on his website. “On my days off in the early eighties, I roamed the streets seeking inspiration and capturing everyday life by pointing a camera at the society which was much easier and more satisfying than writing long boring essays.” He caught the camera bug, and it never left him since. “I dropped out of my social worker studies and became a hospital A&E porter for thirteen years,” Chris explains.
He progressed from Zenith, Practika, Olympus Trip to a Canon AE1. The Kodak Instamatic “made camels look like dots in the desert,” so Chris soon got a better camera. Sadly, the images from the adventurous trip were terrible.
