Chandra Sandoval

Photographer

Seattle, Washington

Chandra Sandoval is a Seattle-based artist whose work is rooted in resilience, reverence, and a quiet pursuit of beauty. Her creative journey is inseparable from her lived experience — especially the profound grief of losing her infant son nearly fourteen years ago. In the aftermath of that loss, it was through the lens of her camera that Chandra began to reconnect with the world. Where her own eyes once saw only sorrow, the camera revealed light, wonder, and life.

Photography became her way back — not just to art, but to living. Today, her work reflects that deep sense of presence and purpose. Chandra captures moments that move her: small, fleeting gestures of beauty, scenes rich with stillness, and the quiet language of light. Her images are meditations on what it means to keep seeking — wonder, joy, connection — even in the face of unimaginable loss.

Chandra lives in Seattle with her husband and three children. She is a traveler, a lover of light and water, and a believer in the healing power of beauty. Her work is a reminder to slow down, look longer, and cherish the things that make us feel truly alive.
