Hi, I'm Charlie Naebeck.
I am a husband, photography coach, photographer, writer, podcaster, Youtuber, entrepreneur, and adventurer.
I started with a camera when my Grandma gave me a birthday gift at age 10. My first photograph was taken on a family vacation to Disney World of Winnie the Pooh.
I photographed it because I loved it and love to spend time with my family.
One day someone called me and asked if I would photograph a small fashion shoot for them. I had never done it before, so I said yes. And this opened the door to my first trip to New York City.
Over the years, I have photographed almost every style imaginable and have lived and worked in cities/countries around the world that I never dreamed possible.
Yet after I returned to college in my early 30s to pursue what I loved, I found my true passion in teaching and helping others.
I have taught at NYU, U of M, Adorama, Photo Manhattan, my own destination workshop tours, and private lessons.
And these days, I teach online on Zoom as I travel with my family and photograph what I love most with them.
With 33 years of experience with students in over 42 different countries, my goal is simple. I am here to share my knowledge with you.
I want to see you achieve your photography goals.
Anyone can learn photography and camera basics on Youtube these days.
Yet, they cannot give you the inspiration I can or design a custom action plan for YOUR photography goals.
This is where I excel. I help my students reach their goals more efficiently than any photography class by giving them what they need.
And in all transparency, I would love to work with you and help you achieve your goals.
If you are ready to take the following steps to improve your photography and to get inspired, book a free 30-minute call with me here: https://calendly.com/cnpcall/30min.
We will chat about your photography goals, and I will design a custom action plan for you with a photo coaching plan to help you achieve those goals.
And I will be here every step of the way with you and be one of your most prominent advocates of success.
So what are you waiting for? Let's chat!
