Kris Anderson is a Brisbane-based photographic artist, fusing experimental and unusual photographic techniques with digital manipulation. He leverages decades of performance work and commercial Performing Arts photography, crafting images rich with narrative and emotion. Kris employs techniques across the spectrum from order to chaos. His carefully planned and executed narrative pieces are created to resonate and engage, highlighting shared experiences. Conversely, his experimental work celebrates entropy, ensuring outcomes are influenced by artist, subject and serendipity.
Kris Anderson M.Photog I M.WPPI MNZIPP(Dist.) is a proud EIZO Ambassador. He has been recognised as an AIPP Master Photographer I, NZIPP Master with Distinction, and WPPI Master.
