Chris graduated from Sunderland University with a degree in Media Production, and started his career setting up and running the media department for Nissan. Since then, Chris has worked in various locations around the world for BBC, ITV, Sky, Jaguar, UEFA and Sunderland and Newcastle United Football clubs… just to name a few.

After running around everywhere, he and Shazia finally decided the time was right to set up Chocolate Chip Photography.

Chris LOVES films. His fascination with storytelling is embedded into the core of Chocolate Chip Photography. He gets much of his inspiration from movies. He’s a big Star Wars fan, and loves many other great movies such as The Godfather, Lord of the Rings, Jurassic Park and the Marvel movies. The list could go on.

TV wise, it’s all about Game of Thrones and Stranger Things, although Chris also loves a bit of 24 but his favourite TV series of all time is Friday Night Lights.

Chris also loves his family time. Although difficult during busy periods, spending time with Shazia away from work is something he looks forward to every week. Eating out, spending time travelling around on the motorbike, or even lazy days in front of the TV. Generally, food is the basis for the adventures they have together, whether it be nipping into town or jetting around the world.
