Christopher Raphael(I)
- Camera and Electrical Department
At 13 y.o. Chris knew he'd found his passion and his father bought him a used Nikon camera.
Winning a local press photo competition at 16, the same year he went on to start
work for the biggest sports photo agency in the world Allsport
Photographic in London. As a darkroom printer and junior
photographer he learned to shoot action from some of the top sports
photographers in the world. He assisted the photographers for feature
shoots all over Europe for Sports Illustrated magazine and after 4
years of sports photography, he moved onto assist one of London's top
portrait photographer Clive Arrowsmith for 3 years. His love for film
and theatre moved him 'on-set', where he continues to fulfil his love
for Still images shooting action and portraits on and off-set.
