A fascination with natural light and a passion with nature, landscape and travel underpin Chris Coe's photography and give a striking simplicity and graphic quality to his imagery.

Since turning professional in 1992, Chris has photographed landscapes, people, architecture, gardens, travel destinations and wildlife around the world. This ability and desire to capture such a diverse range of subjects and explore different types of photography is rare amongst photographers, but Chris finds shooting different subjects and styles both visually stimulating and challenging.

Most of his work is commissioned for specific advertising and editorial projects or for stock libraries. He has shot over 40 travel and coffee table books and has undertaken commissions for a wide range of major multinational companies. His images have been widely published in newspapers, magazines and books, and his book ‘The Art of Landscape Photography' is a widely-used reference work. Chris is current working on a book called 'Creative DSLR Photography'. Examples of his published work can be found in the “in print” section of this website.

He has presented photographic features for TV and he lectures on a variety of photographic subjects, including travel, landscape and stock photography, at numerous major international conferences. He has also written articles about photography for specialist photographic, travel and lifestyle magazines.

Together with fellow professional photographers and friends, Nick Meers and Chris Weston, and digital imaging expert, Terry Steeley, Chris runs the Photo Iconic series of photography courses and digital imaging courses in the UK and overseas, covering everything you need to know about photography to enjoy it as a hobby, as a profession or to get started as a new career.

In 2003, Chris founded the now prestigious international photography awards:

Travel Photographer of the Year (TPOTY).
