As a photographer and videographer specializing in editorial photography and creative films, my goal is to capture the unique essence and story of each of my subjects. Whether through portraits or short films, my work strives to tell a compelling narrative that resonates with the viewer. I approach each project with a connection to the subject, and I believe that the key to creating powerful images lies in establishing a genuine connection with the person in front of my lens.
In my creative short films, I bring an artistic approach to portraying a story. I carefully craft each frame, using lighting, sound, editing, and movement to create a dynamic visual story that draws the viewer in and keeps them engaged.
Overall, I draw inspiration from living in coastal cities in California, as well as being raised by my creative parents. In addition to this, music has a huge influence on my work and life. I'm constantly listening to music and curating playlists, which is why I am drawn to concert photography.
I graduated from California Polytechnic State University - San Luis Obispo with a BFA in Art and Design and a Photo/Video concentration. In addition to this, I have had the privilege of showing my work in the Cal Poly Juried Student Exhibition, .RAW Magazine publications, and the San Luis Obispo International Film Festival. Aside from my photography/videography work, I also upload travel and lifestyle videos on my Youtube channel, Chloe Kern.
I am currently attending Paris College of Art in Paris, France to pursue my MA in Fashion Film and Photography.
