Chris Murray has been practicing landscape photography for twelve years, although he has only recently “gone professional.” During the past decade hist full time job has been a geologist. He continues to work part time as a geological consultant, devoting the rest of his time to his photography.

Chris’s interest in photographing landscapes is derived mainly from his love of the natural world, the same love that led him to choose geology as a profession. For Chris, the appeal of photography lies in the blending of the technical and the artistic. As a scientist, he is naturally drawn to the technical aspects of photography: decisions regarding filters, shutter speed, aperture, and so on. The skills he has learned as a scientist, the attention to detail and careful observation, have also helped him immensely as an artist.
