Embracing a childhood passion, a camera became a chronic appendage at an early age. Capturing each event, moment and memory fueled my young love of the art. Since then, my passion has grown exponentially allowing for the expansion and success of this happy profession.

Every person, object and subject expresses its own individual beauty. Nothing is more rewarding than capturing a quality of beauty where none thought existed. By utilizing the unexpected, unrehearsed and absence of posing, I gift you a memory of how something or someone truly is.

My photojournalism style secures each moment in a style unlike any other. By employing a natural environment, not a formatted studio structure, each subject can convey genuine emotion and expression. Those are the moments and features which truly reflect your memories. For this reason, I have strayed from traditional photographic style focusing instead on the more artistic art of storytelling.

Utilizing my favorite medium, black and white, each photograph represents a timeless product. Black and white returns the focus to features and expressions, not background or clothing. I enjoy adding color accent to feature objects of significance allowing a timeless heirloom, treasured object or document to be incorporated in the story of your life.

At the end of the day, my reward is your happiness. Nothing is more pleasing than to become part of your life, capture the beauty and provide you with capsulated memories which last indefinitely. Only then is my childhood passion renewed fueling the continuation of the art I love so dearly.

Finding beauty in unexpected places,
Chanda K. Pope
