About

My name is Chance Craven.

I've spent almost twenty years helping people start companies, build brands and solve problems. If you make me pick one thing, though, I'm a photographer, because photos help people see things from a different perspective.

I've hung out of helicopters, run offshore with boat builders, walked job sites with crews and spent more than ten years documenting firefighters. I founded Honor Supply Co. to share that work with firefighters, their families and their departments.

I've also traveled to Japan, Haiti and Venezuela in chaotic times, and served around the country here at home. Chaos is where I do my best work.

I live in Greenville, South Carolina, and I'm a believer, a husband and a father, in that order.

If I can use my gifts or experiences to help you, don't hesitate to reach out.

“As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God's varied grace.”1 Peter 4:10

How I work

Six things I won't compromise on.

  1. 01Honor people now.

    Good people deserve to see their work honored while they're still doing it, not after something bad happens.

  2. 02Show up. Stay out of the way.

    I don't direct anybody, because the real work speaks for itself.

  3. 03Tell the truth.

    That means no staging, no stock and no spin. If I need to know something, I go see it with my own eyes.

  4. 04Relationships come first.

    Every job I've ever gotten started with a conversation, and none of it happens alone.

  5. 05Leave it better.

    Every place I go, I want to leave better than I found it for the people who come after us.

  6. 06People over politics.

    Life's too short for grudges. I'd rather photograph the push-in than hold onto the past.
