OverviewChris Holmes: Hidden in Chaos pairs Chris's cinematic images with the words of 18 poets of various backgrounds, adding more layers of texture and meaning to the complex but devoted relationship that London's residents and visitors have with the city's many faces. Local or visitor, London courses through your body as if its rainbow-coloured system of underground veins is somehow intrinsically linked to your own. Often waking before dawn, photographer Chris Holmes captures rare moments of solitude and calm as the city of London yawns, stretches and begins its day. His high-contrast scenes depict the miniature dramas unfolding all around us, obscured by the hectic pace of metropolitan life. Moving to London as an adult, Chris fell in love with the city in tandem with his development as a photographer and shoots his adopted home as both a romantic insider and an impartial admirer. London's gray and glow, its daily ebb and flow, are celebrated, questioned and contemplated in this visual and poetic tribute. Full Product DetailsAuthor: Chris HolmesPublisher: Trope Publishing Co.

While he dreamed of a creative career in his youth, he followed a more traditional path, becoming involved in London’s live-music scene as a drummer in his spare time. He fell in love with photography on a trip to New York in 2014, as he explored Manhattan with his iPhone and found cinematic qualities on every street corner. He is naturally attracted to scenes with a high contrast of light and dark and learned his craft through trial and error, studying and experimenting. His dramatic images have gained him international attention, from inclusion in publications with Mendo (Amsterdam) and Trope (Chicago) to displayed pieces in an exhibition curated by Art of Visuals (New York).
