Crowell Photography

Hi, my names is Chandler, AKA Chad. I’m a commercial/editorial photographer in sunny Pittsburgh PA. I grew up in Corry, a small town in Northwest Pennsylvania on an old dairy farm. I know how to drive a tractor and mend a fence. I have been practicing the craft of photography since I was 15. The bathtub at my parent’s house is still stained from printing chemicals. Bathrooms always made the best darkrooms. I live in a house built in 1920 with my beautiful wife, daughter, son and 95 lb lap dog named Jonas (Weezer song, not the brothers). My son never lets me be Batman. Pre-teen daughter = boy bands. Lots and lots of boy bands. When I’m not holding a camera, I’m usually holding my 3 year old son or a guitar or a Smuttynose IPA or a fishing rod or a hammer or some combination of those things (well, not the 3 year old and a hammer). We love to camp in the national forests. I love old punk rock, which is kind of weird because I’m pretty mellow. I hate public pools, it makes me feel like I’m taking a group bath. I have photographed all types of people from top US government officials to CEO’s of fortune 500 companies, musicians, farmers and everyone in between. I love both the details involved in coordinating a large production shoot and the intimacy of a small editorial piece. I like making people smile. I specialize in commercial advertising, editorial, corporate, people, lifestyle and environmental portraiture. I enjoy meeting and working with talented people from all walks of life. I work hard and love what I do.
