Ron Chilston

Photographing the World

Art Gallery homepage

Fire Dragon

Ron Chilston has been photographing the world around him since the age of 9.

At the age of 10, he built a darkroom and began processing his own black and white film. During Chilston's career he worked with professional photographers, ad agencies, trade show companies, graphic designers and all of the sports teams in the greater Phoenix area. He found himself viewing hundreds of photographers’ works influencing his own photographic work.

Currently, Chilston is an employee of YCC as a photographer, videographer and mentor for the Fire Academy.
