The New Order's latest It Girl is an it girl for the millennial generation. Based in LA, 20-year-old photographer and video editor Chandler Kennedy embodies artistically bent youth, taking inspiration from the online creative scene in which she’s immersed, and the artistic men and women who surround her. She’s a remarkable talent who’s developing her fresh personal vision.
Like many of her peers, Chandler has run the intern and retail route. She’s done the sketchy, hectic retail sales on Broadway. She’s interned in the online editorial field, working at the media company Vice. After KYUR8 featured her photographs in its online magazine, Chandler created online zines for the magazine's free eponymous app, where you can put together your own portfolio from Instagram, Facebook, Tumblr, and Iphone photos. Most recently, she worked for the New York Art Department in a Bowery gallery called The Hole, alongside her sister, Chris, and the founders of ALIFE, a NYC clothing label.
Emerging from this millennial milieu is Chandler’s unique photographic vision—framed in natural light and shadow, focused on purity, liveliness and wonder, rather than logic, and fascinated by the natural appeal of the young men and women of her generation. We’ll surely see more of Chandler—and of ourselves.
