Chandler has lived in the American West all his life. He has spent over 20 years exploring, roaming and photographing remote and spacious desert lands far removed from people and things. Rejecting the over photographed and over trodden, his large format panoramic photographs celebrate and honor landscapes that are largely unknown, unrecognized and undeveloped.

His goal as a photographer is to "disappear" secretly into obscure domains and record where soul and spirit merge. Striving to enter a world apart, he seeks the enchantment of nature when it takes form in delicious emptiness and silence. The vast privacy contained within spacious earthen playas and glistening flats, where dark desert mountain crags pierce stormy blazes of atmospheric splendor, is where he dwells.

Chandler does not attempt to depict pretty or intimate images. He seeks to photograph infinite space, incomprehensible vastness and wild and unpredictable atmospheric conditions.

He makes his home on the edge of Nevada's Black Rock and Smoke Creek Deserts. Remaining true to his need for the wild and remote, his first love and only priority is being and creating within the land itself. He lives its space, freedom and beauty.
