Caroline Chidester

Caroline is a Columbus, Ohio based artist who works in writing, photography, coding, circuitry, and book-making.

She received her BFA from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago with a focus in photography, writing, and art and technology.

In her fine art work, she combines both photography and writing to create an immersive mode of story-telling with the two media used to aid narrative building in stories, books, and installations. Chidester uses these methods to explore the concept of public presentation of “self” and how that may contrast with a more personal idea of oneself.

In her professional photography practice, she works as a freelance photographer, taking portraits of clients and products to portray the client’s vision. Each photograph creates a story about the person or product, and provides a platform to give them life to their desired audience.

Alongside photography, she works as a freelance writer and editor, working with multiple clients and specializing in internal communications, branding, story building, and developmental editing. She works through Chidester Communications to support organizations with effective communications strategies.

Aside from freelance work, she is currently employed by Story Garden Publishing as the Executive Assistant and Story Production Editor.
