- Chris is a street and portrait photographer based in Newcastle Upon Tyne. He is currently working on a project "1000 Strangers" where he is attempting to capture 1000 street portraits in a year. I've known Chris for nearly 10 years now, and I thought I'd catch up with him to let him share his story and describe his approach to photography.
Oh man he is really lovely. Such a great vibe I got from him. I hope he always enjoys making photos.
A real photographer and a good guy It's rare. Your attitude matches mine So many rabbit on and on about how everyone hates being photographed in the street Like you I had maybe three or four question me over several years. Well done my friend
Very personable and humble. Great video! Makes sense to make the connection with G.W.
Love your 1000 portrait project idea, that should be amazing when finished. Hopefully you’ll get those published in book form.
And also, love your skull rings, live for the moment!
Love Chris's enthusiasm. And I'm encouraged to get that new ( actually used ) camera with an articulating screen so I can also shoot on the street. Really good interview.
Great interview it is.
Thanks Munir, glad you enjoyed it
Awesome video! I love the x100 so much that I just went and bought a Leica...
What a very nice fellow he is.
Really interesting video and loved the story and the quality of the video work.
Thanks! 😎
Amazing video and very inspiring Jay x
Thanks Jase!
Great video Jay of my mate Chris. I’m amazed you kept him down to 11 minutes ha ha!
Joking aside…really good explanation of what drives him and the relevance of what, to many, is a pointless genre of photography.
Thanks John!
I have just bought a mint Lumix GF-1 and waiting for some glass. Looking forward to getting owt and abowt.
Nice straightforward video
Great video! Love this dude's vibe.
He's such a gent, love shooting with Chris
Great interview, thank you. Admire your honesty and to-the-point discussion: no I don't think you go off at a tangent, I feel you just enhance what you're saying. I soak up stuff like this from street photographers and think about my own approach to street photography, particularly the things outside of my usual comfort zone.
As a Southern who relocated to the North, twenty years ago, northern cities are the best. My favourite is Sheffield but I can see the allure of Newcastle.
Thank you again.
Thanks for watching Steve
Great interview, what a nice watch!
Thanks so much Kris!
I guess my way into photography is the same as Chris’, but Chris was the one with the cool camera which sparked my photography journey.
I’d always taken photos on my phone “of stuff”, but until I’d seen the x100 I didn’t think that digital cameras could have personality. I asked him what it was when he came up to the hatch where I work (stack Newcastle) and we got talking- and that’s when our friendship started and my photography journey.
Chris will always be the person who sparked my interest at the right time, with the right piece of kit. And I’ll always be thankful.
He's such a gent and an inspiration, his work rate is amazing.
Nice.
That was great 😊
Thanks for checking it out Grant!
Oh, I subscribed too.

Subscribed. Hope to see more videos.
There'll be more coming for sure, what kind of people would you like to see me chat to?

+1 for Josh360. His portraits are so good.
any chance you could link me to his instagram? I can't seem to find the right guy.
Dude, scrap this silly project. Producing 1000 portraits in a year without producing crap isn't possible. Why not challenge yourself to 10 amazing portraits in a year? We don't need any more bad photography in the world.
Who defines what is good and bad, it is a big target to hit and if rushed, you're right there could be some mediocre photos in there, but give Chris some credit for the dedication to the project.
Why? I can't think of one good reason not to do it. All my photography is for me so even if everyone of the 1000 portraits is shite, guess what? It doesn't matter one jot. I'm not shooting for you or anyone else. :)
So much this! He should aim to take 10 exceptional photos, but shouldn't get discouraged if they don't come easily. John Freeman says that, on average, 1 in 100 photos are "good". Wowee! I wonder how many portraits he would have to take to achieve that?
@@peaceplease I've personally been doing my own 100 Strangers project for nearly ten years now and have around 20 I'm completely satisfied with out of about 300, but this doesn't take away from the fact that he is enjoying what he's doing and is making the pictures for himself. It's a serious confidence booster asking people for portraits and he, me and everyone else should learn more about their craft with every photo we take so I don't see the issue with overshooting, especially when every portrait he takes he gets to speak with the person for 5 minutes, it's a whorlsome activity in my opinion regardless of outcome.
