Seeing Chris Tancock's photographs for the first time one is struck by the singular quality of his vision and the extraordinary way in which he interprets his subject matter. Tancock's work is intuitive; one senses it derives more from within himself rather than from the subject itself. The gentle, yet powerful images compel the viewer to pause, to bring one's own interpretation.

He is a masterful print maker who seems able to extract the richest , luminous highlights along with lush, dense blacks from ordinary photographic images.

After much experimentation, his darkroom technique has evolved to the point where he can now fully express the sense of mystery he perceives in his relationship to the landscape. By losing some of the detail in the image he enables the atmosphere and mystical qualities he felt to come out in the print.
