About Charné
[ shar-NAE]
Hello! I'm Charné, a commercial food and beverage photographer dedicated to crafting impactful imagery that helps brands stand out in today’s competitive marketplace. With a unique background in culinary arts and photography, I specialize in creating vibrant visuals for food, beverages, and products, including engaging stop motions that capture a brand's essence.
I collaborate closely with each client, whether for high-profile ad campaigns or product launches, ensuring every project aligns with your brand's goals and creative direction. My tailored approach results in powerful visuals that resonate with your audience and drive engagement.
When I'm not behind the camera, I enjoy spending time with my family and exploring the stunning outdoors of the East Kootenays.
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.
