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.
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, contingency and the relationship between the land and those who dwell there; it is influenced by the concepts of social haunting and the language of landscape. His photographic work is informed by his academic studies defining the Autobiographical Landscape.
Younger’s latest work 新幹線 (SHINKANSEN) draws from his current research interests developing ‘Photographic Spacetime’, a relativistic framework for considering space and time in photography.
