Chris Tancock
Chris Tancock strives to keep moving his photography forward through intense investigation and study of just a few projects that typically run over several years.
Based on the Pembrokeshire coast, he describes his approach to photography on his website as follows:
I AM A PHOTOGRAPHER OF CAREFUlLLY DEFINED HABITATS RITUALISTLY REVEALED OVER A PERIOD OF 5 YEARS
WORKING WITHIN A RADIUS OF 5 MILES OF MY HOME I CREATE PHOTOGRAPHIC BOOKS
I AM COMMITTED TO EXTENDING THE AESTHETIC OF A PHOTOGRAPHIC SYNTAX
BY THE USE OF MANY PHOTOGRAPHS TO CREATE A SINGLE NARRATIVE
I TRY TO CONVEY MEANING THROUGH
A CONTEXTUAL ENVIRONMENT OF PEOPLE PLACES AND MOMENTS IN TIME
I CALL THIS PSYCHOGEOGRAPHICAL PHOTOGRAPHY
Whilst the article featured in issue #007 of Offline Journal focussed on his beautiful handmade ‘Little Black Books’, the questions and conversation which informed the piece had a few tangents that, I think, demonstrate the real passion Chris has for photography and his desire for more photographers to stand out from the crowd.
Enjoy listening to our 2-part conversation in the audio segments below.
In the following second part of our conversation Chris shares some observations on contemporary photography and photographers trying to find their own voice in the language of photography.
