Jeremy Charles Photography + Design

This Summer and Fall were a blur. Here is a small taste of a few key photo projects. Below is Ryan Red Corn, a graphic artist, a proud Osage,  and a Native American issues activist. His was profiled in Oklahoma Magazine over the summer. We shot his portraits in the Tall Grass Prairie wildlife preserve. Those are buffalo in the background. I’ve been meaning to add a charging bison to the frame behind Ryan’s comical stride (above), but I’ll probably never get around to it…

I got the chance to shoot a promo shots for Garage Media’s Halloween-night-only performance of the Rocky Horror Picture Show. Below left is a version of the cover shot for the Urban Tulsa Weekly , and below right appeared in advertising for the show.

My friends at Route 66 Marathon needed to show off their unique medals – probably the coolest medals I’ve seen for a race. I utilized a layer of fresh pavement in front of the studio to bring context to the shot.

Below is a customized Air Stream trailer that belongs to my friend Micky. He needed shots of his construction and design projects, from restaurants and homes t0 this sweet sweet metal egg. I’d love to take this baby for a roadtrip. We pulled the trailer up to Chandler Park just in the nick of time as while the last of the sunset dissipated.

One of my last few assignments for Oklahoma Magazine involved profiling craftsmen still practicing “Dying Trades”. Below we have a ferrier, or a horseshoer, a chimney sweep, and my favorite seamstress Miss Anne.

Over the past year, I’ve found I shoot less personal work than I used to, which is regrettable. Here is a shot of an uncovered highway overpass at sunset. Nearly all of the overpasses in Tulsa have looked like this lately. It’s kind of surreal to see them, posed like dinosaur skeletons surrounding the city. We won’t see something like this for another 30 or 40 years. I should be covering it better.
