ABOUT chloe
I am Chloe Gard, a passionate photographer, cinematographer, and producer in Indiana. My journey into visual storytelling began at 12, inspired by meeting a National Geographic photographer, which led me to purchase my first DSLR camera. Since then, I've cultivated a deep fascination with capturing moments, leading me to pursue a career in visual storytelling.
My work delves into the intricate narratives of human experience, aiming to evoke emotion and provoke thought through visual media. I strive to create content that resonates with audiences, whether through the lens of a camera or the production of a film.
I hold a Film and Media Arts degree from Taylor University, where I honed my skills in photography and film. My portfolio encompasses various projects, including portraiture, theatre productions, and short-form documentaries. Notably, I originated an award-winning series titled “YOU,” which currently resides in the Boren Art Gallery. Additionally, I worked as the cinematographer and associate producer for "Além Da Costa," a short-form documentary currently in festivals, and as producer and cinematographer for "Orang. Utan.," another short-form documentary in the festival circuit.
I invite you to explore my portfolio and contact me with any questions or for collaboration. You can also follow me on Instagram @cgphotoandfilm to stay updated on my latest projects.
