Chris Hoare
Chris Hoare is a photographer born in Bristol, 1989. It is here in his hometown where he continues to work, both as an image maker and part-time as a technician at the University West of England. His work has been recognised through a number of prestigious awards, most notably the Taylor Wessing Portrait Prize (2019), whereby two of his portraits were exhibited at The National Portrait Gallery (UK). In the same year he was selected by Paris Photo as part of their annual Carte Blanche award, being one of four students picked across Europe by the festival as part of the award. Within his personal work he is interested in areas of society that he feels are overlooked in some way, exploring themes of identity and place. Although his projects have taken him as far as Australia (The Worst Poem In The Universe) or across the industrial heartlands of England (The Red Wall). It is in Bristol where Chris continues to develop his ideas, which in turn has become an archive of the city as he sees it.
