I’m Charles Mercer, photographer, writer, mentor, nature lover, and someone who knows how heavy life can get.
If you’ve ever longed for a little space to breathe, if your creativity feels like it’s been packed away for too long, you’re not alone. I’ve spent much of my life helping people through difficult seasons, as a counsellor, as a teacher, and now through photography.
This isn’t about filters or fancy gear. It’s about slowing down, seeing differently, and reconnecting with a part of yourself that might’ve gone quiet.
I’ve had a camera in my hands since I was eight. It started as a family legacy, but it’s become something more, a way of offering presence, perspective, and sometimes, even peace.
If you're looking for guidance with your photography, not just technically, but emotionally and creatively, I’m here for that. Let’s find the kind of images that mean something to you, that feel like you.
And maybe, along the way, you’ll find yourself seeing the world, and your place in it, a little more kindly.
