photography career.
“Each image is a narra-
tive representing myself, an
occurrence in my life, or a
way to communicate my ex-
periences,” Chandler said.
“I have friends and family
stand-in for ‘me.’ But, ulti-
mately, each image is my sto-
ry, a visual diary if you like.”
LightBox takes pride in
presenting Chandler’s imag-
es. With this exhibit the gal-
lery hopes to help to assist
her parents, who recently lost

Chandler, which is for sale
and without a commission to

“This particular exhibi-
tion is especially close to my
heart because, not only am I
absolutely honored to have
been invited by LightBox
Photographic Gallery to have
a solo exhibition, it is also a

house burned down to the
ground about a month ago,”
added Chandler.
Chandler grew up in Il-
linois and graduated with a
Master of Fine Arts in pho-
tography from Southern Illi-

Austin and at Austin Com-
