I'm Charley Swarthout and have been photographing for over 30+ years. I shot and developed my first roll of film at 11 years old. Through college I worked with my brother Walter Swarthout (Walter Swarthout Studios) as an assistant for a couple years. You can find some of his legacy work at www.watersfaces.com He introduced and influenced me in this passion.

After some time away from photography, I have come back and have found what I enjoy.

I was lucky enough to meet Keith Selle in 2015 and has since been a great mentor and friend. He encouraged me to continue this passion and I am forever grateful.

Now I look to develop my portfolio and continue producing images and making new acquaintances. I hope to shoot you someday!
