Chip Standifer
As a well-travelled but odd and disconnected child, I was always a keen observer of people, places and situations. At the age of 12, I built a pinhole camera and discovered the delights of creating images, developing film, and the magic of photographic images emerging from the darkness. Today, when travelling the world for fast-paced startups, I enjoy the meditative benefits of noticing the beauty everyone else misses as they hustle by.
My images have been juried into multiple shows at the Atlanta Photography Group, the Photographer’s Eye Collective, the Houston Center for Photography, the Center for Fine Art Photography, the Photo Place Gallery, the SOHO Photo Gallery, the Southeastern Center for Photography, the Atlanta Airport, the 2025 Atlanta Art Fair, the Marietta Cobb Art Museum, the John’s Creek Art Center, the Fence Regional Show, Slow Exposures, the Montgomery Photo Festival, the South by Southeast Gallery, the Florida Museum of Photographic Arts, the Madison-Morgan Cultural Center, and the Buckhead Library.
