Art with purpose

The Fine Art of sharing the planet, rather than conquering it

Artist Statement

Chris Fallows

My aim is to profoundly move my audience, forging an emotional connection with my subject and awakening a primal longing to reconnect with the natural world, our shared origin across all species.

I work in an artistic style that is simple and uncluttered, seeking to empower rather than overwhelm my subjects. To achieve this, careful consideration is given to background, mood, and overall composition.

All my subjects are completely wild, and as such, mutual respect and quiet tolerance are essential when creating imagery in the unprotected close quarters I often find myself in. Earning this privilege demands substantial time in the field.

My overriding objective is to bring these elements together in a fine artwork that does justice to the natural world’s most iconic subjects, beings I am deeply privileged to encounter before my lens.
