Chris Friel (born 1959) is a British photographer noted for his abstract landscape images.
[2] This change in medium coincided with his leaving London to live on a beach in Whitstable, Kent.
[1] He has said "My aversion to sitting in front of computers means that I do minimal post production on images".
[9] His photographs have been exhibited widely including at the South Bank Centre London, on the Santiago subway in Chile, and projected behind the London Sinfonietta in the Royal Festival Hall,[10] and Mikhail Palinchak has described him as "one of the finest contemporary landscape photographers in the uk today".
[12] In 2011 Friel published Moving Pictures, a collection of 80 of his abstract colour landscape photos with an essay by the Canadian art critic Ann Marie Simard.
