Chris Onton - Photographer

Berlin, Germany

“I come from Perth but I live in Berlin and photography is something I’ve always done as a hobby. In a perfect world, I would make more time for it and eventually publish something. Looking at photos has always inspired me as much as listening to music but I guess the fact that the community element isn’t as integral is maybe the reason that music has taken up a more profound space in my life. Actually, looking at the content of this collection of photos, (the first I have ever exhibited, thank you BAI for the opportunity!), I’m wondering if they are in fact my subconscious attempt to pull back the curtain on the greater DIY community and communicate the sense of joy and adventure that playing in a touring band afforded me (on the good days, that is).”
