Chris McCaw is an American photographer whose work transforms sunlight into both subject and medium. Using hand-built large-format cameras, he creates long exposures where the sun burns directly onto photographic paper.
In his Sunburn and Marking Time series, light etches and scars the image, revealing the Earth’s movement and the atmosphere’s presence. McCaw blurs the line between photography, performance, and elemental collaboration. His images capture not just landscapes, but the living trace of time and light.
