Chuck is a very gifted photographer whose main interest is in nature and landscape photography.  He thoroughly enjoys traveling to "off the beaten path" places to not only capture the essance of a place but to also experience the different cultures and people.  His travels include Iceland, Denmark, Ireland, Scotland, England, Canada and the Faroe Islands.  He has also traveled extensively throughout the American Southwest.

There was never a defining moment when Chuck decided that he wanted to be a photographer.  He never considered himself to be an artistic person, but there had always been an underlying desire to create.  From a young age, he remembers admiring photography and art but didn’t take this interest any further until later in life.  As a young boy, he traveled frequently with his family throughout the United States, and it was on those cross country trips that he first began taking pictures with his point and shoot camera to document the places he had visited.  That is where he first developed an appreciation of the beauty of landscape photography.  After a college art class and then buying his first DSLR camera, he threw himself into photography almost to the point of obsession. Being self-taught, he soaked in everything he could about photography mostly by reading books, watching webinars, studying the works of others and going out to shoot as much as he could.  He had finally found the creative outlet that he so desired.

With the use of his camera and some software, he is finally able to create his own visual art.  He does not want to merely photograph what is seen but how an image is seen by him.

Chuck's work has been shown in various galleries throughout Maryland and sold to various people and businesses.  He continues to travel throughout the U.S. and abroad.
