Chris Cook (b. 1992) is a fine art photographer based in Brooklyn, New York who is known for documenting the urban landscape in cities across the United States and abroad. Cook is concerned with developing a vast chronicle of the sociopolitical issues of his generation by creating photographs that preserve histories, record experiences and capture the human condition. His creative process incorporates traditional and new digital printmaking techniques to speak to the ways in which histories repeat themselves and the impact that technology has on how we perceive the world.
During his journey, he has assisted and worked alongside other photogrpahers including Ming Smith, Jamel Shabazz, and Ahmed Klink. Awards include the City Artist Corps Grant (2021). He was an artist in residence at the Saltonstall Foundation for the Arts (2021) and the AIM Fellowship at the Bronx Museum of the Arts (2020). Cook's work has been featured in a range of publications, including The Washington Post, Lomography, and ABC News.
From January 26 to June 16, 2024, Chris Cook's work will be featured in The Sixth AIM Biennial at the Bronx Museum. Read more about this exhibition here.
