I am a Sussex based photographer who embraces both traditional photography and experimental techniques, new and old. I create images which reflect my vision and imagination, using my camera to introduce abstraction into what I see and feel. I will be exhibiting recent works taken this year by the sea, both in the Outer Hebrides and Sussex coastline.

Christopher Moon is a Yorkshire born London based artist, writer and photographer. His photography has taken him from Knottingley, West Yorkshire shooting maggot farms, to New England U.S. documenting children’s Summer Camps.
His latest collection focuses on the urban environment and how we try to make it more pleasant with the introduction of animals despite building spaces that are hostile to their existence.

“Are They Real?”
We need to have animals within our environments for connection and comfort, despite the fact many of the animals will not give a second thought to us. If they are absent, then we will bring them in as facsimiles, because it seems we cannot live full enriched lives without them. Some might say this is a form of control, but I see a more optimistic reason, in that we want a constant reminder of who we share the world with.
We will paste them on our walls, make statues of them on our buildings, even embed them into our pavements. We want them here, we even pretend to be them. This strange sharing of space, this invitation to come and join us, is as fascinating as it is perplexing.

In addition to being a photographic artist I am also the Ambassador for the Marylebone Project Charity, which provides accommodation and counselling for homeless women and those in crisis.

My series “ARE YOU NEXT TO AN ANGEL?” was shot in 2024 using staff from the charity on the streets of London. They wore enormous angel wings because charity workers are under paid and often overlooked by the public, yet they are quietly changing people’s lives, they are angels.

The staff from the Marylebone Project gave up their spare time to be part of this series, which took over a year to shoot. The limited edition prints were sold at a central London Gallery and all monies raised went directly to the charity. The images on display at the OXO Gallery are part of that series and any print sales will also go directly to the charity. To date I have raised £80,000 from print sales.

THAT EMPTY FEELING IN SEASIDE TOWNS when the season end, DFL’s ( down-from-Londoner’s) return to their everyday, humdrum lives, the wind begins to howl the sea begins to churn, the off season stretches, endlessly ahead….. that’s what Stephen Sunnucks captures in thought-provoking photographs taken as he walks the streets of these English seaside towns of his youth. The quirky humour, the sadness, the loneliness, the old customs, the resilience, the fun, “u alright luv?”, that incredible enduring community spirit. Stephen’s distinctive photographs, frequently stripped bare of excessive detail, often reveal hidden emotions or untold stories… Off Season.

In a world saturated with images perfected by AI, I chose to step back and rediscover the quiet magic that first drew me to photography.

The large-format camera, with its brass fittings and wooden frame, invites slowness and intention. Each photograph begins as light passing through glass onto a sheet of film coated in silver, an image forming upside down on ground glass – fragile, tentative & luminous.

Through the camera’s movements, space becomes fluid. Focus can sweep across the frame or contract to a single plane. Perspective bends, and with it, perception. The photograph ceases to be a record; it becomes something shaped, something found.

The process ends with platinum printing, where the precious metal sinks deep into the fibres of cotton paper. Each print is handmade, unique, its surface alive with subtle tones and quiet depth. These are images meant to endure: fragile in their making, yet permanent in their presence.
