Better Wildlife Photos

Charles Glatzer is one of the top wildlife photographers working today, and that says a lot. There are so many great wildlife photographers out there, but on a rare occasion you meet someone that rises above the rest, someone that is the inspiration for so many of those others. That is Charles, and that is why his work has been celebrated internationally with over 40 awards.

As a Canon Explorer of Light Charles is one of a small, prestigious group made up of some of the worlds best professional photographers, spanning every genre you can think of. The idea behind the Explorers of Light program is to provide insight, inspiration, and education to future generations of creative photographers, and I think it’s one of the best things Canon has done for the industry. I have had a lot of Canon Explorers of Light on Behind the Shot, and every time I’m amazed at the talent in that group.

His images have appeared in many publications worldwide, including National Geographic, Outdoor Photographer, Popular Photography, National Parks, to name a few, and with over 38 years of professional experience, Charles has become not only a sought after photographer, but an educator and keynote speaker.

Charles founded “Shoot the Light“, an instructional photographic workshop and series, in the mid-nineties. His experience provides workshop participants and seminar attendees with an unparalleled resource, and provides the insight needed for the many national and international photographic competitions where he serves as a judge.
