Since 1975, Chris Harris has dedicated his professional life as an outdoor guide, and educator and photographer.
He has shared the backcountry of central British Columbia and celebrating its beauty and majesty with others.
"My path as a photographic artist has been defined by three influences: my origins in a family of artists, from whom I draw my aesthetic sense; my passion for adventure and exploration in the wilderness of British Columbia, discovering with every foray into the back-country more about who I am; and an equally passionate drive to share with others the beauty I find there and the truth it leads me to."
Chris is widely respected for his innovative work in self-publishing books of photography, having independently published and distributed 10 successful books.
He is also renown for his exceptional artistry in photographically fulfilling his stated mission of giving expression to beauty in all its manifestations in the natural world.
He lives in the South Cariboo with his partner, Rita, and daughter, Teresa. Their home provides a base for the continued exploration, and expression through imagery of this unequaled landscape.
