Steven Chandler says of his series "Unfound," "When you delete images from your digital camera the files are lost forever, not so with film. The mistakes, wrong decisions or bad memories continue to exist somewhere albeit as unwanted artifacts. It used to be possible to find these discarded pictures/negatives on the pavement, in skips, in the trash, but not anymore. I have collected found film/photographs since 2001 but every year I was finding less and less. Now that digital photography has all but taken over, finding film has become extremely rare."
Steven was born in Hertford, England. For the past few years he has taught photography in community settings and pursued self-initiated projects. His work has been exhibited in public and private spaces including the RPS, F.Stop, the Photographers Gallery and National Portrait Gallery. He lives and works in London.
