Portrait sessions

I photograph people the same way I photograph everything else — in natural light, outdoors, paying attention to the moments between the posed ones. Sessions are relaxed and unhurried, usually around golden hour, and every client receives a private online gallery for viewing, downloading, and ordering prints of their photographs.

Prints & licensing

Selected photographs are available in the print shop as open-edition fine art prints on archival matte paper — and almost any photograph on this site can be printed on request. For editorial or commercial photo licensing, send a note with the image and intended use.

Collaborations

I'm open to working with brands and publications whose work belongs outdoors. If the project is about noticing things — places, gear, slow mornings, back roads — we'll probably get along.

Get in touch

Fill out the form, or email itschrischandler@gmail.com directly. I'm a Denver-based nature and portrait photographer working throughout Colorado. Alongside my nature work, I take relaxed, natural-light outdoor sessions — individuals, families, and small groups — though the camera comes along wherever the road goes. See my profile on Google.

I reply to session enquiries within a day. I use what you send to reply to you, and nothing else. How it's handled.

FAQ

Common questions

Where are you based?
I'm a nature photographer based in Denver, Colorado. Most of my work is made around Colorado, but I often travel and the camera goes wherever I go.
What do you photograph?
Mostly nature and wildlife — animals, landscapes, and the other things that I enjoy as I walk past — plus natural-light outdoor sessions for individuals, families, and small groups.
Do you do portrait sessions in the Denver area?
Yes. Sessions are relaxed, outdoors, usually around golden hour, and every client gets a private online gallery to view, download, and order prints.
What should I expect and wear for a session?
Expect a relaxed, unhurried hour or so outdoors, mostly candid rather than stiffly posed. Wear something you feel like yourself in — solid colors and natural tones tend to photograph best against the outdoors, and layers give us options as the light changes.
Are you available for travel or location shoots?
Often, yes. Email me with what you have in mind.
Can I bring my dog?
Yes, as long as we're outdoors. Dogs are welcome in any session, on their own or with the family.
