Christopher Taylor Christopher Taylor is an English photographer based in France with
the vision of a poet. His black-and-white photographs have an elegiac quality
that sensitively capture the misty, grey climes of Iceland, the rarely-noticed
details of China's bleak and dreary urbanscape, and the grand colonial
buildings of Calcutta that had seen better days. A zoologist by training, this
self-taught photographer mostly uses a cumbersome studio camera or else an
ancient Rolliflex even in the busiest streets, and yet human beings are rarely
sighted in his works. So, his photographs never fail to surprise. He has held
critically-acclaimed exhibitions in Paris, Arles, London, Beijing, Delhi,
Mumbai, and Calcutta.
