Chris Moxey - Photography

chris moxey : photographs

I was born in Brighton on the Sussex coast. When I was 18 I ran away to join the circus but they wouldn't have me, and I ended up working in the book trade for many years. Later, I attended London College of Printing and that's when I bought my first camera, a Praktica MTL3. At home in my basement flat, I would develop and print my own black and white film, using a bin liner to block out the light from the door. I can still remember how excited I was by this process.

After a break of many years I rediscovered my love of photography and I've enjoyed it ever since!

I'm a member of London Independent Photography and the group Thirteen. From 2012 to 2017 I was Assistant Editor of fLIP magazine.

In 2020 I wrote about my project 'England's Dreaming' for the Landscape Photobooks blog. In June 2017 I was featured as part of On the Edge of the Sidewalk, a series by Siri Thompson in which street photographers talk about their non-street work. I was interviewed by Didi S Gilson in 2016 for the Flickr Street group - and Tiffany Jones interviewed me for London Independent Photography in 2008.

I have exhibited widely in group exhibitions and had two solo exhibitions.
