About Chris Lewis

Chris has been taking photographs around his hometown of Telford (Shropshire), Lake District, and Wales, for the last 30 years. As you will see from images in his Portfolio, his preferred photographic subject is the landscape; in particular, the dramatic affect ever-changing weather conditions and seasons can have on our beautiful and diverse landscape. Occasionally, he applies creative techniques to images of the natural world around us.

As a member of Wrekin Arts Photographic Club in Telford, and the Federation Internationale De L'Art Photographique (FIAP), Chris enjoys entering national and international photographic salons, with many of the images shown in the Galleries exhibited in national and international salons throughout the UK, Europe, America, South America, and Canada. In 2004, he was awarded the distinction of EFIAP/bronze by FIAP, in recognition of work accepted in international salons of photography worldwide. Many images have been reproduced in books, magazines and calendars.

In 2010 image 'Power in the Mist' received the Environment Films 'Britain In Our Hands Award', and won a place in both the "Lansdcape Photographer of the Year 2010" awards book, and was displayed as a print at the National Theatre exhibition in London. www.take-a-view.co.uk/2010_winners.htm

Images in the galleries have been captured on 35mm transparency film (Velvia) and digitally scanned, or more recently on a Nikon D200/D700 and tweaked in Photoshop or Nikon Capture NX2. Virtually all images have been taken using a tripod and remote release to ensure optimum quality of the final image.
