Charles Clarke is a professional photographer with a background in sculpture and the fine arts. He captures exceptional visual stories about what and how we live.

Charles Clarke's childhood is littered with memories of point-and-shoot cameras on family vacations and gatherings. This caused him to pick up an analog camera in high school. He would not pick up a camera again until he started his creative journey after serving in the Army. Knowing he wanted to be an artist, Charles used their GI Bill to study photography at Cabrillo College under Lesley Louden, developing his photographic voice. A voice that would speak on contemporary social issues, decay, and abandonment. While on this journey, he has been fortunate to have his work shown at the MMA, his works are housed in the photographic collection at Cabrillo College, and his documentary photos have been featured in the Monterey County Weekly. When not behind the camera or editing, Charles is a pretty classical nerd who can be found reading manga, watching anime, and playing video games.
