CHRIS ROUND

I’m a Fine Art photographer, based in Sydney, Australia. I studied at both Canterbury College of Art and the School of Communication Arts in the UK, and also Sydney College Of Art in Australia. I've also had a career in advertising, winning many international accolades including a coveted Grand Prix at Cannes.

I am primarily interested in documenting the everyday world around me, with a particular interest in landscapes featuring human interventions that visually activate their surroundings in strangely compelling ways. I am drawn to spaces that convey surreal or fictitious narratives, fortuitously photogenic environments that I try to carefully document rather than photographically exaggerate. Some of my work ventures into more experimental landscape projects (like 'Legend'), and some work also explores the notion of place in the context of my dual citizenship of Australia and the UK. 

My work has been awarded both locally and internationally highlights include: Shortlisted,  World Photo Awards and Winner Australia National Award; Grand Prize winner, PDN Exposure Award; Prize winner & finalists, HeadOn Landscape prize; winner Best Architectural Image, Kodak Salon, CCP Melbourne; selected Josephine Ulrick & Win Schubert Prize; Prize winner & finalists Perth Centre for Photography CLIP award; FotoFilmic Shortlist & exhibitor; Moran Prize semi-finalist.

My work resides in the Parliament NSW Collection, Macquarie Group Collection, and private collections in Australia, USA, Italy and UK.
