Byron Christopher Co (b. 1994) is a creative/art director & artist from Metro Manila, Philippines based in Cologne, Germany. Through research, art, and design, he transforms overlooked moments into narratives that are both socially conscious and visually sophisticated.
Having a background in art & advertising, Byron blends skills together. One of his early works was an image of raw meat placed front and centre at the 2017 Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity.
In 2024, his first photobook MOMENTOUS was shortlisted for the Dummy Award and the Kölner Design Preis. The book toured globally, exhibited in the Arles Books Fair, Hong Kong Photobook Festival, etc. In the same year, one page from the book was plastered all over a German city’s historic art columns.
Over the past decade, he has worked on both sides of the creative fence, leading art direction for brands while exhibiting personal projects in art spaces. His work has been recognized by Cannes Lions, New York Festivals, re:publica Berlin, among others.
