The Man Behind the Camera

Hey there, I'm Ethan Chene, just another human just trying to get through life without regrets. I'm held together with stoic thoughts, and a pair of suspenders. Chasing a sense of adventure and photograph those memories.

Creative Philosophy

  • A young man with glasses focusing a camera, wearing a vest and wristwatch, with a blurred green background.

    I'm a Storyteller

    In essence, my photography is more than just images because the story is what makes every photograph meaningful. I want to draw the viewer in; to share an experience with me; to see the world as I see it.

  • A winding forest path covered in fallen autumn leaves, surrounded by trees with a stone wall on one side.

    I'm on a Journey

    What matters most to me is the journey of creating art. Whether my work is deemed 'good' or 'bad' by others is inconsequential. I'm simply here to make art and grow into the best version of myself.

    I'm Bridging a Connection

    I want to create photographs that resonate deeply with others, fostering meaningful connections. The idea that an image can leave a lasting impression on someone is incredibly intriguing to me.
