Hi! I’m Kandi…

I’m a film & digital photographer and artist in Memphis, TN.

I’ve been making art & photographs almost my entire life. I got my first camera when I was ten years old; I haven’t put one down since.

I work on the development team at a full-service advertising agency. In my free time I enjoy hiking, travel, digital and mixed media illustration, cooking, yoga, knitting and crochet, reading, learning new things and going on adventures!

I find working with my hands extremely rewarding. I’m a tinkerer at heart; I love putting things together and coming up with unconventional solutions (call me MacGyver). I have a little dog named Rocket, IYKYK!!

I shoot digitally and on film, with a predilection for lomography and other toy cameras and polaroids. I have my film developed at a local processing lab and do my own scanning at home.
