Charles A. Seifried
Charlie Seifried has been exploring the visual expressions that are born out of pure love of the photography craft for over thirty seven years. More than a job, photography is Charlie’s deep and unrelenting passion! As a professional photographer his work has been featured by many advertising agencies, corporations, and commercial interests. Charlie specializes in panoramic photography, and has been hired to capture his stunning images in locations around the world. Additionally, Charlie prints his own work in house, and sells his fine art to Banks, Corporations, and Hospitals.
Personal Life
Born in New York, Charlie left the city for a trip around the world with his parents, igniting his love of travel and providing him a broader education that only globetrotting can give. Living for a time in the Philippines and China, they then visited many ports of call as they made their way by ship from Hong Kong to Southampton, England, and then on the Queen Mary to return home to New York.
Charlie’s photography career has taken him extensively across the USA, and also to Canada, Columbia, Peru, Scotland, Ireland, France, Italy, New Zealand and Australia. The opportunity to see and experience other cultures has given him a gratefulness and understanding that all people are the same.
Alabama has been Charlie’s home for 42 years, where he enjoys the beauty of the state’s wonderful diversity, from the many rivers, lakes, and Bankhead Forest, to the white sandy beaches at the coast.
Commercial & Fine Art Photography
Supplying stock photography for many corporations and ad agencies for many years, Charlie would not put down his cameras on weekends, instead heading out into Alabama nature to capture landscapes, wildlife and more. At present he has published four books through his company Big Leaf Press - “Alabama Canyons, the Bankhead National Forest”, followed by “Alabama Outdoors” and two garden books, “Through the Garden Gate” detailing gardens of Huntsville, Alabama, and “Garden Views of Decatur and Morgan County”. Charlie’s gorgeous books are very popular and sell out quickly, beginning with his first book, “Alabama, Simply Beautiful.”
