After graduating with a BA (hons) in Fine Art from Goldsmiths School Of Art, Chris has built a reputation as "our most imaginative interpreter of dance" (The Guardian) and has held over 60 exhibitions of his Dance photographs in 19 different countries. His work has had such an impact on contemporary dance in England that he is the recipient of a Dance Umbrella/Time Out Award, the inscription of which reads; 'For helping to make the face of dance more recognisable, this award is made to photographer extraordinaire Chris Nash' "Nash's pictures have played an integral part in making dance look daring, glamorous and dangerously beautiful. In a word, he makes it cool". Keith Watson, Evening Standard. |
