This page offers a personal introduction to Charles Camarda, founder of Camarda Visual Studio. Here, you’ll find the story behind the studio — the experiences, values, and vision that shaped its approach to visual communication.
A comprehensive approach to visual communication
I’m Charles Camarda, founder of Camarda Visual Studio — a studio where creative precision meets technical clarity.
With over 25 years of experience, I work at the intersection of photography, video, graphic design, and custom website development. From concept to delivery, I help institutions, researchers, and business leaders express their ideas with elegance and purpose.
My first commissioned website dates back to 1997 — long before the web became what it is today. Since then, I’ve been fortunate to work with exceptional clients in the US and Europe, from magazines and museums to prestigious universities and renowned research labs. Some of these collaborations have even brought me face-to-face with Nobel laureates.
A legacy embraced, a path chosen
Photography runs in my family. My great-grandfather was a cinematographer; his sons became photographers. My grandfather and grandmother launched the family’s first photography studio, where images were more than pictures — they were stories passed down through generations.
I didn’t plan on following this path. I began my career in corporate communications and graphic design, but the pull of photography became impossible to ignore. In 2005, I made it part of my professional practice — not as nostalgia, but as a modern tool for demanding visual work.
Surrounded by lenses, cameras, and darkrooms since childhood, some instincts never leave you.
