Chris Younger (b. 1981, Newcastle) is an artist living in the North East of England.

He has a Masters degree in Photography from the University of Sunderland and has exhibited work internationally.

Younger was raised on a council estate in an impoverished area of Gateshead and this upbringing informs much of his work, including the locations he chooses to photograph. His highly autobiographical work explores uncertainty and contingency in relation to landscape, and is heavily influenced by the concept of social haunting.

Younger’s latest work 新幹線 (SHINKANSEN) draws heavily from his current research interests developing ‘Photographic Spacetime’, a framework for considering the relativistic nature of space and time in relation to photography.
