A Journey Into My Archive - Episode 2
Christopher Morris
This is the second episode of the journey into my archive – to see what I have, and, as I scan a selection, tell you about how the work was made and give you some of the stories behind the images.
I want to give you a sense of the scale and volume of material I have in my archive, most of which I have never seen before now.
In this episode, I’ll show you how I used film, the rolls I still have, as well as the many contact sheets in my filing cabinets that I am beginning to review, starting with work from the 1990s covering the war in Chechnya.
Christopher Morris was born in California in 1958 and began his career as a documentary conflict photographer working almost exclusively for TIME Magazine, where he has been on contract since 1990. He has been credited with redefining political coverage in America during his years working at the White House for TIME Magazine from 2000 to 2009. While working as a photojournalist, Morris expanded his work into the fashion world. Morris is a founding member of VII Photo.
