On Thursday 13 July from 6.30pm we are pleased to host a second artist talk in conjunction with the Assignments 23 exhibition. We will be joined by award-winning photographer and member of The BPPA, Chris Fairweather.

Chris is a staff photographer and Head of Pictures & Video development at Huw Evans Picture Agency, the leading photographic agency in Wales. Upon finishing school, he embarked on his professional journey in his native Gloucestershire, working for agency Thousand Word Media. Seeking further growth, he ventured to Leeds, where he took up a photographer's role at Ross Parry News & Picture Agency.

In 2013, Chris relocated to Cardiff, a city that has become a canvas for his photographic storytelling. During this time he’s captured various facets of life in South Wales, events such as Rugby World Cups, visits from royalty, breaking news stories, and diverse commercial projects. This year - 2023 - marks a significant milestone of a decade since Chris made South Wales his home. During this event he will share memories and showcase his favourite images, illustrating the essence of his remarkable journey in Wales.
