Chris Henderson Images

For those of you who already saw my exhibition at Kilau Coffee at the end of last year, you might want to stop reading here.

This show came about as another exhibitor was unable to hang their work, so I stepped in to fill the void. I hung the show last Friday I’m really pleased once again by the feedback I’ve had so far. All of the pieces have already been exhibited, but it’s surprising how different they look in a new setting. I’d also recommend the Belmont Picturehouse bar just as a quiet spot to have a drink and take advantage of the free WiFi and comfy sofas!

The exhibition runs until the 7th April 2010, and all pieces are for sale with prices ranging from

I’ve been planning this exhibition for the last 12 months, and to finally have it on the wall is a huge relief.

Yesterday the hanging itself went incredibly smoothly thanks entirely to the assistance of my dad, David Henderson, who has had plenty of experience organising exhibitions. His input over the last few weeks has been invaluable in making this show what it is, really can’t thank you enough. While I’m on the subject, a big thanks to Rebecca Prentice for helping design the posters, pricelists and labelling, Eion and Craig of Kilau for giving me the exhibition in the first place, and to Tim for his assistance and input on the day.

The only problem thus far is that the batteries in the LED torches I’ve used to illuminate some old slide viewers (slide viewers? what are those?) have died a lot faster than I had hoped, so right now a large part of my show consists of small, dark plastic boxes. I’ve hurriedly ordered alternative light sources so fingers crossed they fit inside and last a little longer.

The work itself is mostly made up of landscape photographs that I’ve shot over the past few years, mostly as experiments with odd cameras or processes. A lot of the work was shot on Velvia 50, Kodachrome and Type 80 Polaroid Peel-Apart films, all of which are now no longer in production. The show is called ‘the end’ for a few different reasons* but the main reason is almost every image in the show has been created with a camera, film or process that is no longer available to photographers. Although it is possible to fake the look of an image in Photoshop, it was the unanticipated effects of the processes that really made these images.

As well as having a lot of smaller, reasonably-priced pieces in the show, there’s also a strictly limited edition greetings card featuring a proper photographic print from the show on sale for only

Not long til my first solo exhibition opens at Ki:lau Coffee in Aberdeen. More information on the way…
For now, I just want to say thanks to my wonderful girlfriend Rebecca for her help with the poster!

Firstly, I’d like to say thank you to the couples who booked me to shoot my first weddings this year, I had an awesome time and I can’t thank you enough for the experience.

I’ve also spent two weeks riding around in Jeepneys in the Philippines, been preparing a solo exhibition of my photographs which is now a mere 5 weeks away, and my first year anniversary as a nightlife & events photographer is fast approaching!

I’ve also been kept busy with a lot of graphic design work. It seems the trouble with being both photographer and graphic designer is as soon as you commit yourself to one discipline, someone asks you to do something with the other.

As the year’s gone on I’ve been obsessing over, upgrading and modifying my gear; expect a few geeky posts on that subject in the not-too-distant future.

As a result of all this mayhem, my own site has been rather neglected (sorry!), but please check back soon for:
