About Us

Charles Jablow was given his first camera when he was four and studied his first professional photography course when he was twelve. His first professional work began at eighteen when he was hired by the Lehigh University Alumni Bulletin. He began photographing weddings in college and received professional wedding training in 1986 from the master photographer who did the Kennedy weddings for the highly respected Bachrach Studios in Boston. Charles also spent two years photographing weddings, events, and portraits for the nationally known photographer and teacher, Clay Blackmore.

Charles keeps pace with the state of the art by taking professional development classes from internationally-known photographers like Monte Zucker (world's best wedding photographer), Clay Blackmore (one of worlds best wedding professionals and teachers), Joseph and Louise Simone (world's top portrait artists), Dean Collins ("dean of lighting", commercial photographer), Ken Marcus (top photographer for 20 years for Playboy and Penthouse), Anne Monteith (photographer, teacher, past president of PPA), Galen Rowell (top National Geographic photographer), Charles Campbell (published landscape photographer), Will Crockett (top technical expert and commercial photographer), Michael Redford (nationally-known teacher of portraits and business), Bob Boyd (teacher of pros), Ed Pierce (producer of videos for pros), Edward R. Lilly (Cape Cod), and other well known and published professionals.
