Chris Brown
Chris Brown has been practicing photography in Boulder for almost 40 years. His specialty is medium and large format color landscape photography. He was the first photographer in Colorado to receive a commission in the Art in Public Places program, for his series "The Hydrologic Cycle: Studies of Water" which is housed at the University of Colorado, Boulder. He has also done portfolios for the Earth Sciences Department at CU, and Boulder's Open Space and Mountain Parks. His prints are in numerous public, private and corporate collections, including the Denver Museum of Contemporary Arts and the San Francisco Museum of Fine Arts.
His prints, which many people have seen during Open Studios, are superb, both technically and aesthetically. They range from literal to abstract, and convey a very personal, often transcendent view of our world. "I essentially taught myself photography, which certainly was the hard way to go. As a result I know the techniques inside and out, and how to explain them to others in a simple, clear manner and I love to teach. People tell me that my prints have a very personal, distinctive style not like any other photography they have seen."
After making Cibachrome prints in the darkroom for 10 years he began exploring digital inkjet printmaking, and this has fully enthralled him: "These prints are better in every way than analog prints: they are sharper, longer lasting, and the artistic control, well, really leaves the others in the dark!"
Chris has taught many photography workshops over the years, including courses for Anderson Ranch, Mikes Camera and Boulder's Lifelong Learning, as well as in his Boulder studio. He is clear and patient in his teaching style, and his classes are packed full of both information and philosophy. "The print is the final expression of your artistic vision, and a great way to share your work with others. Therefore my teaching of photography techniques always has the concept of the print in the background. Photography is a sequence of either cumulative successes, or errors, and my job is to make it the latter, so that the results show your artistry."
