Visual Poetry Journey | Photography by Charles Wong
rhythm, flow, song, and dance

Charles is a professional photographer based in Toronto, Canada.  His style is a mixture of street photography, fantasy, fashion, and creative ideas combined with an edgy and surreal undertone that describes the inner beauty, whether the subjects are a model or not.  His creative vision is enriched by his studies at the acclaimed Photography program at Ryerson University.

Drawing from his strong artistic and technical background, Charles creates beautiful worlds from fragments of dream and reality, blending truth and fiction as one with his comprehensive experience in story-boarding, set-building, standard wardrobe styling, through to capturing the photographic moment.

His main area of specialty is editorial-style fashion and portrait photography, and works closely with makeup, wardrobe, and hair- stylists to realize these visions.  When not behind the camera, Charles enjoys travelling and exploring the deeper meaning behind movies, both of which continue to inspire the narrative of his photography. His Pinterest board details his latest inspiration and projects.
