Born in 1965 in Berck sur mer, France. Moved to London in 1992, then settled in Shropshire, near Wales.
Christophe Dillinger’s photography is a mix of various experimental techniques that are far reaching, in terms of conceptual approach and aesthetic content. He uses traditional mark making principles such as drawing, printing and inking, and letting randomness play its part in the photographic process.
He practices WYSIWIGOTN photography, which stands for “What You See Is What I Got On The Negative”: none of his work is digitally enhanced.
