Apart from the continuing inspiration, Charles is a great instructor.

I’ve had the pleasure of participating in several presentations and workshops with Charles… the first being way back in 2008 at a NANPA conference. That presentation, and his related eBook, Creative Macro Photography, have inspired me so much that it has completely changed the way I think and has opened a wonderful world to a much deeper level of creativity in my images. I have also attended workshops based on his newer book, Impressionistic Photography, which has given me new inspiration and taken my thought process and creativity to even greater levels.

Charles is patient, exceedingly knowledgeable, and one of the most genuinely gracious people I know. Anyone who has the opportunity to learn from him will be truly blessed and inspired. I now teach and lead workshops of my own, and credit much of what I know and teach in macro photography to Charles.
