About

Christopher Morris is an American photographer and photojournalist who has been documenting the world around him for over three decades. He is best known for his work in the fields of documentary, portrait, and editorial photography.

Morris was born in Washington D.C. in 1959 and grew up in a family of photographers. His father was a professional photographer and his mother was an amateur photographer, so it was only natural that he would follow in their footsteps. After graduating from high school, Morris attended the Corcoran School of Art and Design where he studied photography and film.

In 1982, Morris began his career as a freelance photographer for The Washington Post, where he worked for five years before moving to New York City to pursue a career as a freelance photojournalist. During this time, he traveled extensively throughout the United States and abroad to document stories from around the world. His work has been featured in publications such as Time Magazine, The New York Times Magazine, National Geographic Magazine, Newsweek Magazine, Vanity Fair Magazine, and many others.

Throughout his career, Morris has received numerous awards including the Robert Capa Gold Medal Award from the Overseas Press Club of America (OPCA) for his coverage of the war in Afghanistan; the World Press Photo Award; and multiple awards from Pictures of the Year International (POYI). In addition to his photographic work, Morris has also written several books on photography including “The Moment It Clicks” (2008) and “The Passionate Photographer” (2010).

Today Morris continues to travel around the world capturing stories through his lens while also teaching workshops on photography at various institutions such as The International Center of Photography (ICP) in New York City. He currently resides in Brooklyn with his wife and two children.
