I'm based in Sheffield in the North of England. My work is varied but I do a lot of stills work for film and TV. I have exhibited at The Open Eye gallery in Liverpool and The Photographers Gallery in London. I also do wedding photojournalism, and have photographed various celebrity weddings in recent years. Take a look at http://www.fragmentsphotography.co.uk/ to view my wedding website.Grenville Charleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18021662541177352304noreply@blogger.comBlogger30125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3396278457537249032.post-21996595940204664752012-02-07T17:20:00.001+00:002012-02-07T17:20:32.525+00:00Bushmen and Boreholes<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br />

A lifelong ambition realised for me, after reading Laurens Van Der Posts books when I was about 14, I've always dreamed of going to meet the bushmen. Can't wait. I'll be joining the charity Vox United who are responsible for drilling a borehole for the bushmen, they'll be fitting a pump and desalination unit so the bushmen will have access to water in the area for the first time. I will post some of the photographs here when I have some.</div></div>Grenville Charleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18021662541177352304noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3396278457537249032.post-71888551390809729492011-12-13T18:08:00.008+00:002011-12-13T18:27:25.060+00:00<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">My latest work involves making portraits of people in traffic jams.<br />

We were shooting at night outside in the dark most of the time. I took an assistant with me who's main job was to shine a torch on my "victims" so I could focus the camera. I had a Bowens flash with a soft box set up and shot everything with the aperture stopped well down so none of the background would register, enabling me to get a portrait against a clean black backdrop. <div>I couldn't go wrong with the wealth of subject matter, and shot well in to the early hours on both Saturday and Sunday. I like to say a big thanks to everyone who let me take their portrait. Here are some of the results. </div><div><object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="400" height="300"><param name="movie" value="http://www.photoshelter.com/swf/CSlideShow.swf?feedSRC=http%3A//www.grenvillecharles.co.uk/gallery/Not-the-only-Goth-in-the-village/G0000qe2vDCgbHZk%3Ffeed%3Djson"><param name="wmode" value="opaque"><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="bgColor" value="#AAAAAA"><param name="flashvars" value="target=_self&f_l=t&f_fscr=t&f_tb=t&f_bb=t&f_bbl=f&f_fss=f&f_2up=t&f_crp=t&f_wm=t&f_s2f=t&f_emb=t&f_cap=t&f_sln=t&imgT=casc&cred=iptc&trans=xfade&f_link=t&f_smooth=f&f_mtrx=t&tbs=5000&f_ap=t&f_up=f&btype=old&bcolor=%23CCCCCC"><!--[if !IE]><!--><object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://www.photoshelter.com/swf/CSlideShow.swf?feedSRC=http%3A//www.grenvillecharles.co.uk/gallery/Not-the-only-Goth-in-the-village/G0000qe2vDCgbHZk%3Ffeed%3Djson" width="400" height="300"><param name="wmode" value="opaque"><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="bgColor" value="#AAAAAA"><param name="flashvars" value="target=_self&f_l=t&f_fscr=t&f_tb=t&f_bb=t&f_bbl=f&f_fss=f&f_2up=t&f_crp=t&f_wm=t&f_s2f=t&f_emb=t&f_cap=t&f_sln=t&imgT=casc&cred=iptc&trans=xfade&f_link=t&f_smooth=f&f_mtrx=t&tbs=5000&f_ap=t&f_up=f&btype=old&bcolor=%23CCCCCC"><!--<![endif]--><a href="http://www.grenvillecharles.co.uk/gallery/Not-the-only-Goth-in-the-village/G0000qe2vDCgbHZk"><img src="http://www.photoshelter.com/gal-kimg-get/G0000qe2vDCgbHZk/s/400/300" alt="" /></a><!--[if !IE]><!--></object><!--<![endif]--></object><br /><a href="http://www.grenvillecharles.co.uk/gallery/Not-the-only-Goth-in-the-village/G0000qe2vDCgbHZk">Not the only Goth in the village</a> - Images by <a href="http://www.grenvillecharles.co.uk/">Grenville Charles</a></div>Grenville Charleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18021662541177352304noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3396278457537249032.post-91479793545790276822010-09-15T11:08:00.019+01:002010-09-15T11:54:15.673+01:00The latest from a wonderful wedding at Son Morraig in Deia, Mallorca. The bride was the sister of top fashion photographer Mathew Brookes, so I was probably lucky to be there, he must have wanted a day off. Son Morraig was the stunning setting for the blessing, the bride wore a Victoria Beckham dress and all at sun set too, I couldn't really go wrong.

I think it was a great success. Some great bands, some not so great too, but on the whole and considering the majority of them were unsigned there was some pretty good music, my personal favourite was Flatbush, who I thought were by far the best, of course Reverend and the Makers, local lads, didn't disappoint either.<br /><object width="400" height="300"><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"><param name="wmode" value="opaque"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><param name="bgcolor" value="#AAAAAA"><param name="movie" value="http://pa.photoshelter.com/swf/Slideshow.swf?feedSRC=http%3A//pa.photoshelter.com/c/grenvillecharles/gallery/Tramlines-Sheffield-Music-Festival/G0000a_U9SekPO_E%3Ffeed%3Drss%26ppg%3D200"><embed src="http://pa.photoshelter.com/swf/Slideshow.swf?feedSRC=http%3A//pa.photoshelter.com/c/grenvillecharles/gallery/Tramlines-Sheffield-Music-Festival/G0000a_U9SekPO_E%3Ffeed%3Drss%26ppg%3D200" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="400" height="300" bgcolor="#AAAAAA" wmode="opaque"></embed></object><br /><a href="http://pa.photoshelter.com/c/grenvillecharles/gallery/Tramlines-Sheffield-Music-Festival/G0000a_U9SekPO_E">Tramlines, Sheffield Music Festival</a> - Images by <a href="http://pa.photoshelter.com/c/grenvillecharles">Grenville Charles</a>Grenville Charleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18021662541177352304noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3396278457537249032.post-45746430400874940472009-05-28T19:31:00.004+01:002010-12-05T18:37:19.820+00:00Tribes of West PapuaThis is a long term project of mine to document some of the many tribes of West Papua. I have been four times now, the first time was in 2004 and most recently in March of 2009. There is nowhere like it and I love it. I have photographed the Dani, the Mek, The Komorro, Korowai, Kombai and Asmat tribes to date and will be uploading more images from the trips. I will split the gallery in to individual tribal galleries when I have uploaded the majority of the work.<br />It may be of interest that Survival International will be publishing a book this year commemorating 40 years of helping tribal people, they will be using several of my images in the book, it is to be called "We are One". Two of my photos are also used in their diaries available from http://www.survival-international.org/<br />I also have a book publisher in Holland interested in publishing the work.<br /><br /><object width="400" height="300"><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><param name="wmode" value="opaque" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="bgcolor" value="#AAAAAA" /><param name="movie" value="http://pa.photoshelter.com/swf/Slideshow.swf?feedSRC=http%3A//pa.photoshelter.com/c/grenvillecharles/gallery/Tribes-of-West-Papua-Indonesia/G0000ICPkBZ07RH4%3Ffeed%3Drss%26ppg%3D200" /><embed src="http://pa.photoshelter.com/swf/Slideshow.swf?feedSRC=http%3A//pa.photoshelter.com/c/grenvillecharles/gallery/Tribes-of-West-Papua-Indonesia/G0000ICPkBZ07RH4%3Ffeed%3Drss%26ppg%3D200" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="400" height="300" bgcolor="#AAAAAA" wmode="opaque"></embed></object><br><a href="http://pa.photoshelter.com/c/grenvillecharles/gallery/Tribes-of-West-Papua-Indonesia/G0000ICPkBZ07RH4">Tribes of West Papua, Indonesia</a> - Images by <a href="http://pa.photoshelter.com/c/grenvillecharles">Grenville Charles</a>Grenville Charleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18021662541177352304noreply@blogger.com0
