Charles Holt is a multidisciplinary visual storyteller, photographer, filmmaker, and visual anthropologist whose work bridges art, technology, and culture. With expertise in creative production, digital content strategy, and narrative design, Charles specializes in crafting emotionally compelling visual experiences for individuals, communities, and brands.

Based in Houston, Texas and available for travel worldwide, Charles brings a global perspective shaped by his upbringing in Aracaju, Brazil. His creative journey began early, sparked by a childhood photo of The Weeping Angel taken with his father’s Olympus OM20 during a visit to Metairie Cemetery in New Orleans, where he lived for a short period of time. That moment ignited his lifelong passion for emotionally resonant storytelling through images.

Charles later deepened his appreciation for New Orleans’ rich visual language, cultural texture, and traditions. He continued refining his craft in New York City while working at Apple, where he merged technical innovation with creative education. As a Digital Content Specialist, he managed global content updates for the Apple Online Store and Store App and helped develop QA tools that streamlined digital operations across platforms. His tenure included roles as Creative Pro, Genius, Expert, and User Acceptance Tester, blending education, problem solving, and hands-on production.

Charles’s visual work is grounded in strong composition, dramatic lighting, and emotional depth, greatly influenced by painters like Caravaggio. His style is cinematic and expressive, using light and shadow to create rich, storytelling focused images that feel timeless and immersive.

After apprenticing with fashion photographer Nicolas Padron, Charles committed fully to photography and film. He now focuses on projects that document community traditions, amplify underrepresented voices, and build authentic visual stories for brands and creatives alike.

Available for commercial and documentary photography, filmmaking, brand storytelling, and cultural content development, locally and globally.
