John Chilton first discovered his love for photography while living in Colorado in the Summer of 1994. When he embarked on a three-week road trip through the Northwest U.S., he did not even own a camera. A friend from Breckenridge,
Todd Johnston let him borrow his point & shoot for the trip. After shooting landscapes in Yellowstone, Seattle, Mt. Rainier, Northern California, Vegas and Zion in Utah – he was hooked!
When he relocated to Historic Charleston, South Carolina in 1995 he purchased his first real camera, a Nikon N50. Charleston offered up a plethora of photo opportunities for John to
practice his skills and build his professional portfolio.
During this time, he got great satisfaction giving his photos as gifts to friends particularly as wedding gifts. In the summers of 1997 & 1998, he formed Earthscapes Photography and began selling his work at the Charleston Farmer’s Market in Marion Square. His work can be seen in various venues around Charleston, including High Thyme Cuisine on Sullivan's Island.
In the past 15 years, his works have found their way into the collections of art enthusiasts throughout the country. His images have been licensed by ad agencies, design firms and individual businesses appearing in publications, promotional materials, web sites and hotels. Most recently, Chilton was awarded the contract to provide the guestroom art for the new Holiday Inn Express in Mt. Pleasant, S.C.
