Landscape photography is a way of life and is an essential method of expression for Charlie Waite. In discussing his work, he refers to ‘pre-visualisation’ first used by the great American landscape photographer Ansel Adams, from which he draws much inspiration amongst others. “It is the creative act of the artist-photographer who, in visualising a poetic or revealing image within the scene in front of him, anticipates what the final print must convey to express what he sees and feels”. Charlie refers to Ansel Adams and other artists and photographers who have inspired him and shaped his work.

His talk is light-hearted and interspersed with humorous tales within which he reveals the thought processes and the techniques behind his own images, binding them into stories and sharing the anxieties and the joys which accompany their creation.
