Biography;
When Charles bought his first Nikon F SLR forty years ago the resulting studies were of derelict architecture, machinery and also street photography - a genre that the New York Times has called,”…shots of everyday people living out their private lives in public”. In this type of
portraiture, he has the keen ability to capture life experiences of people reflected in their faces and gestures. In a quickly developed relationship, Charles can put the subject at ease for that moment with a kind word or gesture – it results in a timely connection.
Over a few decades his work continued in 35mm B&W and color slide formats; it then evolved to digital. The range of his photography has extended from Great Britain to Central America, the Gulf Coast, South Florida and the Western US. He has recently had solo exhibits in Miami and Scottsdale with group shows in Austin, Bucks County, Lafayette, Los Angeles, New Orleans, New York and Portland. Charles' work has been recognized in numerous international competitions and is housed within various private and museum collections.
With a background in both architecture and journalism, Charles employs a unique approach to his work with the design & construction industry, as well as for his assignments in documentary and enduring theme series.
