About – Chris Jerrey

I’m a photographer, writer and activist living in the South East of England. I am motivated by looking around at the state of the world today. There is still incredible beauty in unspoiled nature, but it is increasingly hard to find. Human destruction of the world is hard to take, but cannot be ignored. Then there are good people who are trying to turn back the tide and make life better. My practice is all about recording and commenting on these matters.

I have an MA Photography from Falmouth University, BA (Hons) Humanities from the University of Brighton and Associate of the Royal Photographic Society (ARPS). In 2021, I was shortlisted for Earth Photo 2021 in the Climate of Change category. I work with Extinction Rebellion, the Green Party and other progressive organisations.
