Chris Younger (b. 1981, Newcastle) is an artist living in rural Durham, UK.
He has a Masters degree (with distinction) in Photography from the University of Sunderland and recently completed an artist residency at Durham University.
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.
Younger has lived in Durham's Deerness Valley for over a decade and during that time, as his knowledge of the landscape has increased, it has become an important part of his photographic work.
