About Charné

[ shar-NAE]

As a commercial photographer specializing in food, beverage, product, and stop motion photography, I bring over ten years of experience creating high-impact visuals for brands in the competitive food and beverage industry. Based in British Columbia, Canada, and available for global projects, I am known for my meticulous attention to detail, creative vision, and ability to produce captivating imagery.

From eye-catching stills to dynamic stop motions, my approach combines a keen eye for detail with close collaboration alongside brands and creative teams. I deliver tailored imagery that aligns with marketing objectives, whether for established campaigns or new product launches.


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.
