Christopher Jones is a photographer and writer based in North Carolina. He has been making photographs since the age of fifteen.

His work spans the American landscape, street photography in Europe and New York, and portraiture, made through a direct, observational approach. In 2003, working in the tradition of the New Topographics, he spent seven months in the field photographing American Exit, working the interstate corridors of the East Coast, the Mid-Atlantic, and the American West.

For twenty-five years Jones operated a commercial photography studio in New York City, shooting for clients including JP Morgan Chase, IBM, Boeing, and Johnson & Johnson. Throughout that period he continued making fine art photographs on his own terms, carrying a second camera loaded with black and white film on every professional assignment.

In 1979 Jones won the RJ Reynolds Industries Photography Competition, juried by John Szarkowski of the Museum of Modern Art. His photographs are held in the permanent collections of the North Carolina Museum of Art and the RJ Reynolds Collection. He has exhibited at ClampArt Gallery in New York and the Griffin Museum of Photography in Massachusetts, and has received a fellowship from the New York State Council on the Arts.
