Dark Descent

Film photography, Giclee print

“I never stop experimenting and discovering what lies within while bringing it to the surface through my work. Finding the lights and shadows of emotions on my photographic pallet helps me unfold stories that are in the foreground of my imagination at the moment. I am not afraid of exploring the emotional diversity of life and its challenges. Not every story is happy, nor should all stories be forgotten. I have explored ideas that dive into natural environments and staged scenes that taunt the idea and metaphors of love being explosive like a shotgun. I have tools that allow me to take images in the air and underwater, ensuring my flexibility and reducing my creative limitations.”

About the artist

Charles Titterington

I am a fine art photographer and builder. My work is often about unearthing visceral connections in life. I find harmony in the contrast between nature and the human condition. My work is consists of scenic and surreal images, full of mysteries and metaphors, executed in folds of darkness with shocks of color.
The emotional atmospheres come from careful planning and theatrical staging.

My themes change with what inspires me at the moment, driven by my emotions. I enjoy the process of creating each project that crosses my path. I find myself exploring new perspectives to tell my stories.

I do not only take photos. I enjoy the full spectrum of what lies in front of me as an artist. Being the prop builder, photographer, and finisher, I will mat and custom frame my work ending each piece with my makers mark branding the wood. Each piece passes through this thoughtful process with attention to detail, all of them unique on their own.
