Chuck Harlins Photography Services

About me - I Started learning photography during my teen years while watching my father in our closet converted darkroom at home. I became so fascinated by the process of picture taking and print development that almost every time he went into the darkroom I tried to squeeze in right behind him. I couldn’t get enough of it. Finally I bought my first camera - a Russian made Zenit and off I went snapping everything my tiny budget would allow. There was no digital back then and so the cost of film, paper, and solutions were quite staggering for a teen. As time moved on my priorities changed and photography in my life slowed down as I began raising a family. About 10 years ago my interest re- emerged as if it had never left. Since then I have been completely immersed in this beautiful art, learning whenever, however, and from whomever I can. Whether it is a formal classroom setting, an onsite week long workshop, or even a youtube tutorial I am going to soak it all in. My family and friends urged me to look into becoming a professional photographer and so 2 years ago I began Chuck Harlins Photography. My passion for this art lies primarily with Landscapes, Seascapes,and Portraits. My goal with my landscape/seascape photography is to share the beauty without you having to be there. Witness the beauty over and over again, and hopefully it will bring you to a place of calm, peace and tranquility. For portraits my goal is for you to be relaxed, and feel like you are so comfortable in that moment and you will show that true light of life that you are. I want to capture that essential you. And that is an image that your closest friends or family will look at and say “That’s him/her, I know that look anyplace” You won’t get a stagnant “Standard Studio Posed shot”. You will get a product unique to you. So come on and contact me so we can get started. Much love to you.
