Hi, I'm Inder Chahal — a photojournalist, photographer, and communications professional based in Calgary. I graduated from SAIT in 2023 with a diploma in Photojournalism, where I learned not only the art of visual storytelling but also the importance of communication in every frame and every moment.
Over the last few years, I've worked across a range of industries, blending my passion for photography with hands-on experience in strategic communications. I've spent the last two years working in municipal communications, where I gained real-world experience in public messaging, reputation management, and crisis communication. I hold ICS-100 and ICS-200 certifications, which are Canada’s standard for incident command and emergency communications—training that sharpened my ability to communicate clearly, calmly, and effectively in high-pressure situations.

As a photographer, I’ve been freelancing for over three years, capturing everything from intimate portraits to high-energy events and weddings. My approach is always people-first: I love connecting with clients, understanding their vision, and creating images that feel true to their story. I specialize in creative lighting and portrait work, but I don’t box myself into one category—I’m an all-rounder who’s just as comfortable documenting a corporate headshot as I am photographing a wedding, sports event, or community milestone.

Whether I'm behind the camera or behind a communications strategy, I bring the same passion: telling real stories, building genuine connections, and delivering results that make an impact.

Let’s create something meaningful—together.
