About Chris:

My name is Chris Hogben, I’m based in South London and work as a full time Graphic Designer during the day and freelance photographer by night. I spent most of my free time being geeky on forums, working on design projects, or being behind a lens.

About Design:

I studied Graphic Design at The Arts University College in Bournemouth, and have been working in a design and print studio on the outskirts of London since 2008. The majority of my work is in print, however I’m no stranger to web design and flash animation. I’ve worked on a variety of projects, ranging from advertising campaigns, identity design, video animations, large format and promotional design.

About Photography:

I have a passion for capturing portraits of anyone who will stand still for me. My approach to photography moves away from the formal and more towards a relaxed and laid back style. I really enjoy making people look good, but in a comfortable and easy way. With an eye for detail, if no one is around to photograph I’ll my own characters in nature to capture.

How to make digitaltoast

Take one Nikon DSLR and add to a large bowl. Select a finely tuned playlist (you can buy these pre-shuffled) and mix randomly. Add a kaleidoscope of colour if it gets to sticky. Once light and fluffy, add a generous splash of mac geeky-ness and then sprinkle a pinch of ‘Boards of Canada’. Next crack a macro lens on the side of the bowel, spoon out the bokeh and apply generously. Leave to settle then cut into doorstep slices and slide into your toaster, set the dial to 27 and wait for the pop. You can now tuck into the wholemeal goodness* of your own digital toast.
