Chris Shaw (b. 1961) is an English documentary photographer whose work captures the atmosphere of night, class, and place in contemporary Britain. His ten-year project Life as a Night Porter (Twin Palms, 2005) established his reputation for deeply personal, atmospheric storytelling. Other notable photobooks include Before and After Night Porter (Kehrer, 2012), Weeds of Wallasey (Superlabo, 2012), Retrospecting Sandy Hill (Morel, 2015), and The Hunter Gets Captured by the Game (Zen Photo, 2019). Shaw’s work has been exhibited internationally, including at Tate Britain, which holds ninety-five of his prints. Recently, he has expanded into fashion photography, contributing to publications such as Another Man and Dapper Dan Magazine.
