Christopher Lord (b. 1993) is a documentary photographer based in Cardiff whose work explores themes of identity, community, and the environment. He is continually fascinated by the natural world and our place within it. Through image-making, he uses photography as a tool to explore and learn about the world around him. 

His projects are research-led and grounded in sustained engagement with the people and places he photographs, approaching each subject with empathy and an emotional sensitivity to the stories being shared.
