What?!? Another Porsche

You betcha! This photo shows a late 1960s Porsche 911 (or was it a 912). In any event, it was FAST! I love listening to the distinctly "winding out" of a Porsche engine. AWESOME!

About Me

Hi there! My name is CharlieJ. I have been an amateur photographer since the age of eight. It's been a lifelong hobby that I have enjoyed like no other. Although I'm not a great photographer, the art of the photo is my passion.

The majority of my work has been nature and macro photography. Two years ago, I started dabbling in portrait, sports and model photography.

My photos have been published in TopGun Magazine (regional sports mag), an UK wildlife education pamphlet, a Huntington, West Virginia restaurant menu and (in the near future) Schmap Guides.

I hope you enjoy my photography. Feel free to comment and offer constructive criticism, too. God bless!

More... About My Style & Status

As of January, 2011, I am turning professional... or at least semi-professional.
I am a member of Model Mayhem (MM#1833123) and Net-Model.com -- conducting TFCD/TFP photo shoots with local & regional models in order to build my portfolio (and theirs).

Currently, I am learning the "art of light" -- and focusing on senior portraits, model shoots, event/sports photography, lifestyle photos.

You won't see oversaturated, heavily tone mapped photos in my collection of work. I just don't believe in producing images like that. I'm a photographer, not a PhotoShop expert. There is a difference. Pretty much anyone who can master PhotoShop can create beautiful files they might call an image or photograph. But, it takes a photographer's eye to see the image, the light, the composition BEFORE the shutter is clicked. I'd rather create my images & photographs with the camera... and not the computer.

Therefore, I do not "photoshop" my images heavily. Normal edits are to change size, along with overall contrast, sharpness -- and sometimes color saturation. Most of those edits have been accomplished through Picnik, Picasa 3 or PaintShop Pro. As my level of shooting has developed, so is my workflow. I am learning LightRoom3 & will soon start my education on PhotoShop CS4.
