Christopher John Ball BA (Hon’s) MA is a widely exhibited and published, award winning, London based, fine arts photographer, playwright, writer and lecturer. With over 30 years experience as a photographer – his work is in public and private collections worldwide and he is, together with Paul Woods, a co-founder of the The Association of Erotic Artists.
His images have been showcased in Italian, German, Spanish, Hong Kong SAR, British and mainland Chinese publications and also displayed within the pages of several respected online galleries. He has also been interviewed, and filmed at work, for Television programmes that have been transmitted in Europe, the USA and Great Britain. After several years within a commercial photographic background, including running his own studio, Chris became more interested in using photography as a fine arts medium and, along with exploring its role within ‘community arts’ and education, this is now the direction his work takes him. Drawing inspiration from philosophy, film and music, Chris believes that how we see ourselves, and how we are objectified by the camera, is an existential rationale and his work is an attempt to explore this belief.
