An established Australian photographer working predominantly in the industrial, mining and energy genres, Christian is regularly commissioned for assignments throughout regional and remote Australia. Larger projects have taken him across five continents over the past 25 years. He thrives on detail and bringing something new to each assignment.
The vast majority of his commissions are undertaken in rural and remote areas which undoubtedly have their challenges, however the privilege of access and the opportunity to collaborate on projects to produce strong visual imagery is a driving force for Christian and one to which that he brings a great deal of passion. This in turn has nurtured an innate affinity for the natural environment and indigenous peoples and cultures.
“It is a rare and real pleasure to be given the opportunity to create art from circumstances and in places where art does not often rank as a priority.” – Christian Sprogoe
