About Chris Hammerton

Photography as a medium traditionally records a single place at a particular point in time. Working with in-camera multiple exposures I make images that are a record of my journey through the landscape over an extended period. The resulting photographs reflect the idea my passage through the landscape is a succession of encounters with various scenes, which build up and bleed in to one another to become a partly imagined landscape in my memory.
