Water and Wedding photographer
BEGINNINGS
Chris Dixon is a water and wedding photographer based in Sydney, Australia.
Growing up in Cronulla NSW, Australia, he worked in a metal fabrication factory at the age of fifteen to save up enough money to purchase his first water proof camera. A passionate bodyboarder from the age of twelve and with the world renowned wave Shark Island on his doorstep, Chris was committed to capturing this remarkable and powerful wave from the water.
A self-taught water and wedding photographer, Chris has spent countless hours at sea over the years honing his skills behind the camera. This built a solid foundation of skills allowing him to capture unique perspectives which tell meaningful stories through a single image, whether the location be on land or at sea.
THE WAVE. THE WEDDING.
“Each of which will only ever exist once and at any given moment in time they are always changing. It is commonplace for a camera to exist in my hand, and when it does I have one goal, which is to capture timeless images. I do this because from a very young age I discovered that taking images brings me a deep sense of fulfilment and satisfaction. I am a true believer that we do our life’s best work when we begin to build upon our passions and align our careers towards the things that lit us up from a young age – for me that is photography.”
