Presenting Pictures
by Chris Slack
From the age of 15, Chris Slack has been
a keen photographer, capturing the changing mood of the landscape,
and in more recent years Brixham has provided him with a rich
source of images. |
| |
His passion
has now grown into a profession. With a new updated website
launched last month, Chris has successfully been offering his
work for sale through the internet over the last couple of years.
He is also to be found throughout the summer months selling
his photographic prints at the Arts and Craft Market down at
the Old Fish Market on Saturdays. |
 |
His work includes many lovely views of the harbour taken from
different angles at different times of the day, whilst many other
pictures celebrate the power of raging seas and the port's activities.
Chris has managed to generate many classic shots of working and
racing trawlers, Heritage Vessels, Tall Ships and the Torbay Lifeboats.

Chris says, “I'm often out in stormy
weather, when the waves are bigger and better and when most
people are tucked up in the warm. I specialize in local landscapes
but as the website shows, I love photographing in Devon and
Cornwall and getting out on Dartmoor. I also enjoy wildlife
photography, and have had great inspiration from getting up
close to the work of the RNLI.” |
 |
Chris also enjoys taking commissions for interior photography
of holiday homes etc. Many of these pictures have been used in
publications, brochures and on websites, whilst some pictures
end up framed for personal enjoyment on the walls of the homes.

With Chris's panoramic views often providing the
Bay Monthly with a front cover image, to fully appreciate the
atmospheric qualities of his photographs, you can visit the new
site at www.chrisslack.com
or pop down to the harbour this summer
and meet Chris in person! |
