About me

My name is Charles Barbé, I am a freelance photographer based in France with a big taste for landscape and travel photography.

For the past fifteen years, I have been wandering in over 35 countries, fueled by my love for the great outdoors. Each epic sunrise I've witnessed and every challenging hike I've tackled has left a profound mark on my heart. Capturing these moments through my camera has become more than just a hobby; it's a deep passion that has transformed into an insatiable treasure hunt. I find myself searching for breathtaking locations, eager to experience the magic of nature in its finest light. This journey has eventually led me to a decision that feels like destiny: to turn my passion for landscape photography into something I could make a living for.

I have had the chance to visit the most incredible and remote places on this planet, such as Patagonia, Bolivia, New-Zealand, Japan, Lofoten, Lapland, Iceland, the Canadian Rockies and much more. My favorite countries are Italy and the United States, especially during the Fall season.

I now want to share my hobbies with you guys, through my curated gallery, fine art prints or the photography maps I have put together for you to scout the best locations to shoot. I will also open workshops on the ground very soon, to provide tuition and amazing experiences in the nicest locations for a small group of photography enthusiasts like me.
