Parallel to his filmmaking, Kris Kerehona has developed a significant practice as a documentary photographer. His photographic work is driven by a "profound exploration of 'place'," by "capturing the authentic, often unseen, essence of locations". This philosophy extends to an "exploration of cultural identity and community within specific locations" and "visual storytelling that captures the history, people and evolution of place". This consistent thematic focus on 'place' in his photography, alongside his documentary film work's emphasis on culture and the arts , points to a deeply ingrained artistic perspective that uses visual media to explore the intricate connections between environment, identity, and human experience. For Kerehona, 'place' appears to be an active component of the narrative, shaping and reflecting cultural and personal stories.
