Chris Shaw (1961) is an English documentary photographer.〔John Preston (Night Moves ) The Daily Telegraph, 19 November 2006.〕〔http://www.wallpaper.com/art/chris-shaws-night-porter-meets-daido-moriyamas-demimonde-photography-at-tate-britain〕 ==Career== In his 2006 monograph ''Life as a Night Porter'', Shaw published photographs taken over a ten-year period whilst working as a night porter at certain London hotels, "all the time he kept his camera with him, recording in black and white grainy photographs the many strange events that he witnessed, taking pictures."〔Saatchi Online ("Life as a Night Porter" )〕 In 2004 Alexander McQueen and Nick Knight chose the pictures as the winning entry in an Independent on Sunday fashion photography competition. Shaw has printed several photographic series: ''Sandy Hill Estate'' (1989), ''Budapest Guide'' (1989), ''Liverpool Colour'' (1980's),'' Night Porter'' (1993–2008), ''Soho/Shoreditch'' (1990`s), ''Jungle'' (Sri Lanka 2009), ''Chat et Sourris'' (2009-2012), ''Weeds of Wallasey'' (2008–12), ''The Polars'' (Polaroid portraits), ''Perm Russia'' (2012), ''Small Mornings'' (2013), ''Joshua Trees'' (2013). Each of these has a book dummy-however only three books have been published. Writing in The Daily Telegraph, journalist John Preston said, "Shaw remains an evasive, almost blurry character who seems to belong in the shadows and who can't bear being stuck in one place for too long."〔 His working practice is mostly negative based, and heavily worked hand printed archival fibre-based black and white or colour prints. He believes in a physical contact between the materials and the photographer that produces them to form a photograph. Shaw and Erik Kessells collaborated on Kessells' book, ''The Worst Hotel in the World'' (Booth-Clibborn, 2009). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Chris Shaw (photographer)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
