Charles seeks to capture the complete range of light, taming highlights and illuminating shadows to produce bold saturated colors in the Southwestern tradition.
All of his work is much more vivid and intense on art paper than can be represented in the sRGB of the internet.
He began photography in high school, joining the photography club. Worked as a fine art film photographer for over fifty years. Charles has recently fully embraced digital photography.
He resides in Taos New Mexico; The Land of Enchanted Light.
