Sydney-based director/photographer Chris Searl is renowned for his ability to capture moments in time that make you wish you were there. There is a perceived ‘realness’ which carries across both Chris’ motion and stills work which makes the viewer feel they are viewing a genuine experience. His connection to the talent is the key and this is abundantly clear in his work.

For this reason Chris is highly sought after globally by brands such as Levi’s and Corona, shooting motion and stills and additionally acting as Creative Director on the Corona brand in Australia.

Chris is also co-founder of Monster Children Magazine. Now with both Australian and US editions, the magazine has a focus on the subcultures of surfing, skating, art, music and photography.  This explains his continued connection to and understanding of youth brands.

When he manages to find a minute to himself, Chris can be found chasing his two kids around on Sydney’s northern beaches.

Clients include Corona, Levi’s, Coke, Coke Zero, Samsung, Wrangler, Nike, Budweisser, Kirin, Qantas, Le Coq Sportif, Volley, Bonds, Mossimo, Sony Music and many more.
