About Charné

Hello! I'm Charné, an accomplished commercial photographer with a culinary arts background. My unique blend of culinary and photography education allows me to bring a distinctive perspective to my photography. With a focus on food, beverage, product, and stop motion photography, I craft exceptional imagery that helps businesses in the food and beverage industry tell their unique brand stories and stand out in today's competitive market.

Based in Fernie, BC, I assist brands in creating scroll-stopping images for their websites, crafting compelling ad campaigns, and showcasing their distinct products. Through a collaborative approach that begins with a discovery call, I can understand your brand's vision and develop a tailored plan to meet your specific needs.

Beyond the camera, I cherish spending time with my family, exploring the beautiful outdoors of the East Kootenay’s, and practicing the bagpipes.

I acknowledge that Charné Baird Photography is situated on the unceded and traditional lands of the Ktunaxa People. Ȼaqahak (Fernie) is located in the Qukin ʔamakʔis (Elk Valley), meaning Land of the Raven, the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territory of Yaq̓it ʔa·knuqⱡi’it. As an immigrant of South African and European ancestry, I recognize that I live, work, and play within their vast lands.
