BOOKS
A selection of publications featuring images by Chris Holmes, including his first solo book ‘Hidden in Chaos’
Trope | Hidden in Chaos
Solo Book | 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. London’s gray and glow, its daily ebb and flow, are celebrated, questioned and contemplated in this visual and poetic tribute.
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.
