People have said that he approaches photography as if he were a painter. This is because of the way that he uses light and shadows to create the perfect landscape.
Philosophy: Charlie Waite is known for using light and shadows to create the perfect landscape. Before he takes a picture, he makes sure he will be able to perfectly capture the light and shadows. He makes sure that his pictures have spiritual quality. Charlie wants his pictures to invoke emotion among the viewers.
Influences: Charlie Waite has an amazing eye for good photos. As soon as he looks at something, he knows if it will be a good photo or not. He has also influenced the way I take pictures. I now pay more attention to light and shadows than I did before. In addition, he has influenced the way I think about photography.
Comparisons: Charlie Waite's first photo is of a lavender field. I took a picture of a normal farming field, but the rows are still there. The second picture shows a bull. When Charlie Waite took his photo, he was practically under the bull, but when I took it, I was kind of far away. Charlie Waite's third photo is of some reeds. My picture is of some plants on the side of a river.
