Hi, I’m Christian Lawrence

Living on the island, with a camera in hand
I’m a photographer living on the Isle of Wight with my wife and our two children. For me, photography is more than a hobby. It’s a way to pause, reflect and escape the noise of everyday life.
I’ve loved photography since I was young, but it found its place in my life as I balanced work, travel and family. It became my way of slowing down and staying present. Now in my 50s, that connection is stronger than ever.
West Wight, with its dramatic cliffs, open skies and peaceful beaches, gives me endless inspiration. Some of my favourite moments are spent exploring places like Compton Bay, often with my dog beside me.
Every photo holds a memory, a feeling, a story, and sharing them means as much to me as capturing them.
my story
From vision to fine art print
I started photographing the island simply because I love being out there, discovering new views and catching the fleeting moments that make it unique. Photography is about being in the right place, waiting for the right light, and capturing something that might last only a few seconds.
Aerial photography has opened up another perspective, letting me see familiar places in completely different ways. What began as a passion has grown into a collection that reflects the places I love, from the cliffs and beaches to the wider coastline and Solent.
“I hope you can see the island from a different perspective, and perhaps find an image that means something to you.”
Behind every print
I work with professional UK print labs so every piece is produced with the same care as the photograph itself. Until I can open a gallery here on the island, I want every step to feel simple and personal.
