Biography

Polly Chandler grew up in Southern Illinois and graduated with an MFA in photography from Southern Illinois University. She has exhibited her work nationally and her photographs have been published in magazines such as Photo District News, American Photo and B&W; Magazine. About her body of work, she says "There are those occurrences that sit with us and settle into who we are. Some are more forceful than others. I am seeking to explore those identifiable instances that seem to slow time, and through my photographs, share the understanding of these moments."

 

 

Process

• Image #1: 4X5 camera
• Image #2: unprocessed film
• Image #3: inside a processed packet of film. Results in a positive and negative
• Image #4: box of Polaroid Type 55 film.

I photograph primarily with a large format camera using Polaroid Type 55 4X5 inch film, which is no longer in production. I develop my Polaroid positive/negatives while on location.
