Charles S. Fallis is an award winning photographer and freelance illustrator who has illustrated well over 70 different magazines. When he is not occupied with his pen and ink artwork or his darkroom photography he grows bonsai trees and he restores and shoots antique and vintage cameras. In recent years he has withdrawn to a great extent from the illustration business and has devoted most of his energies to fine art photography. His talent is to look for and reveal the beauty which can be found anywhere - even in darkness. Charles was the first recipient of the James Award for outstanding art. |
