Charles N.

Featured photographer in Cincinnati

Nnamdi’s work continually questions the expectations of conventional film & photography. Often an immersive mixture of perspective & illusion, he is keen on wrapping his knowledge of light & technology into molding, shaking, and sometimes flipping how we experience the world. With precision rivaled only by the masters, Charles is often found on set playing with light like a round of billiards and mentally painting the composition before a single shutter capture. If the next frame isn’t telling a story or sharing a new angle of life, it isn’t taken.

As a first-generation, Nigerian-American ambassador of vision, Nnamdi’s work evaluates social norms, infuses the client’s creative brief, and disrupts the everyday experience to achieve absolute market separation for the world's most forward-thinking brand partners.

More about Charles N....

What do you love about your job?

Sharing new vantage points has been essential throughout my life. Letting the world see the world through my eyes [or my lens] grants access to my understanding of the universe. I see the beauty & wonder in people and situations, while painting a canvas which sparks dialogue, introspection, and empathy.

What types of shoots have you done and how did you make them special?

I have executed a wide range of shoots: fashion/editorial, headshots, branding, lifestyle, product, family, landscape; but my specialty is high-fashion. I bring that lens to all of my work, creating drama & telling stories in each image. My understanding is I am not like others, thus everyone will not like my style of shooting; but for those who appreciate what I bring to your final product, images & experience alike, there is no comparison.

A fun fact about this photographer

I was an electrical engineer in a former life. The technical aspects of such an education are invaluable in my photographic pursuits. It is also where I impress my clients. My attention to detail is prominent, my problem-solving skills are always working to streamline the experience, and my sales engineer experience ensures the client gets what they want [whether they begin understanding this or not] in the timeframe they need [whether that requires modifications to the campaign timeline or not].
