Claude Charlier

Bio

Claude Charlier is a photographer born in Nancy France. He knew by the age of 12 that photography was going to be his chosen profession, though his studies remained on the classical arts, music and fine art in particular. After the usual first jobs, including working as a photographer for the French government, he was asked to come and work at Paris Match. But apart from photography he had one other interest at the time.. it was Japan. He left Europe for Japan, and began a life that took him all over the world. Claude has lived and worked in Japan, Europe, and in the USA, where he currently resides. His work has appeared in many of the world's major publications, and his client list* includes an impressive list of the world's major corporations and publications. His shows have been sponsored by Pentax, Nikon, Ilford and Kodak. Claude Charlier is listed in both the "Dictionnaire des Photographes" and in the "Encyclopedie de la Photographie". His work has also been purchased by private collections & museums.
