Christopher Willan
Barcelona
Christopher Willan was born in Uganda but has lived most of his life in the UK. His first job after studying photography to post-graduate level was working for some of the world’s most iconic photographers at the legendary Magnum agency. He has over 20 years’ experience working on advertising, travel, TV and film, NGO, editorial and corporate assignments in over 50 countries - both alone and as part of creative teams.
Working with a photojournalistic eye, Christopher shoots black and white and colour photographs that are quiet, natural but nonetheless dynamic, capturing moments that resonate with warmth and authenticity, images that tell stories.
Christopher was the winner of the World Responsible Travel Award 2013.
Clients include Magnum Photos, BBC Worldwide, Channel 4, The Branson Centre of Entrepreneurship, The Travel Foundation, The Nature Conservancy, The Arts Council UK, Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, Condé Nast, The Times, The Guardian, Barclays, Pictet & CIE, Virgin, British Airways, Thomas Cook, Tui and First Choice.
