Chris Ceaser
Landscape Photographer
Landscape Photographer Chris is an ambassador for the prestigious fine art paper manufacturer Canson Infinity.
Born in Rotherham, Chris has mainly lived in the Yorkshire region and currently lives in Scrooby, near Bawtry. He is an award-winning photographer at both national and international level. Chris has also won awards for his talks on photography, which he delivers at societies throughout the region, and here in his own gallery. Inspired by the region's exhilarating natural views; from the flower-strewn meadows and stone-built barns of the Yorkshire Dales & the heather-filled North York Moors, to the cliff-laden beauty of Yorkshire's Heritage Coast, he strives to capture natural light to bring his images to life and capture the essence of each location. He has also compiled a powerful portfolio from the Lake District, Northumberland, Scotland, London and, more recently, Venice, Prague and Rome.
His inspiring fine art landscape images have been exhibited in galleries and exhibitions in the north of England. In July 2013 Chris opened his own gallery in the heart of York at 89 Micklegate. After 10 years at the York gallery, he now works out of his exciting new studios in the pretty little village of Scrooby, home of the Pilgrim Fathers.
Since starting the company in 2005 Chris has always used Canon cameras and lenses for the highest quality results. He currently uses a Canon R5 and 5D MkIV, together with Canon's 16-35mm f2.8L mkIII, 24-70mm f2.8L mk II, 24mm TS-E mkII, and 70-200mm f2.8L mkII lenses. Chris is also familiar with the whole range of Canon products and is happy to offer advice for any wishing to improve upon or change how they make their landscape images. To ensure the best possible results Chris uses the excellent Manfrotto range of tripods and tripod heads.
To Chris, the printed image represents perhaps the most important aspect of the whole photographic process. Chris chooses the Canson Infinity range of museum-grade papers combined with Canon Pro printers to produce his prints. These papers are rich in colour with an unsurpassed tonal range and the level of detail achieved is remarkable. The printers lay down an impressive range of tones, including deep blacks which are critical for accurate colour reproduction. Each of his prints is hand-finished, producing images that are rich in colour and depth.
