Throughout this period, he became fascinated by theatrical lighting and design. Gradually, the landscape and the way it can be revealed to us through light and shade stole him away from the acting profession.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"auto\"\u003eHis style is unique in that his photographs convey a spiritual quality of serenity and calm. He has established a worldwide reputation for his particular approach to his work. His photographs are held in private and corporate collections throughout the world and he has held numerous solo exhibitions in London, Tokyo, Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne, New York and California. In 2014, Charlie was awarded a direct Fellowship by The Royal Photographic Society. He has been awarded the prestigious Honorary Fellowship to the British Institute of Professional Photographers.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"auto\"\u003eIn 2007, Charlie launched the UK \u003ca rel=\"noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.lpoty.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eLandscape Photographer of the Year, \u003c\/a\u003ean international photography competition, which ties in perfectly with his desire to share his passion and appreciation of the beauty of our surroundings through photography.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"auto\"\u003e\n\u003ci\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"auto\"\u003e\n\u003ci\u003eInstantly recognisable, Charlie Waite's landscapes are rare perfections of light, colour and composition, and offer the viewer a luxuriant portrait of a planet at peace, and one where mankind and his activities are in harmony with his surroundings.

The light rain with associated mist helped to convey the solitary nature of the yellow hull against a vague, nondescript background.

The shape of the metal-hulled boat was unfamiliar to Western eyes, and I was glad I achieved sufficient height to see the ribs on the far side. One foot lower, and the hull might have looked stuck on the water. Even the small stick seems to strike through the water at just the right place.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe tree could occupy no other possible position on the canvas except to stand precisely in line with the stern of the boat, while the shadow it cast just nicked the top of other boat's transom.
