Fifty Year Milestone In The Photography Business

This year is a milestone for me as I have been in the photography business for 50 years. In this post I will share some of my photography and a little bit about me. 

About Charles Vandersluys Master Photog., Cr. 

Born May 14, 1952 in Niagara Falls, Ontario.

Charles Vandersluys has been capturing the heart and soul of Niagara in photography for 49 years. Unlike many of his photography friends and organizations, Charles has survived the transition from film to digital. When Charles was employed at other jobs, he would go to PPA's (Professional Photographers of America) Winona School outside of Chicago for five day workshops. During one photography workshop in Upstate New York. Charles met his life partner Jacqueline Baldini. They celebrated 25 years in business in 2019.

Charles developed an interest in professional photography when his sister-in-law suggested joining the St Catharines camera club. He attended photography workshops there and up in Toronto with instructor Tibor Horvath. He told Charles about the Professional Photographers of America and how it would advance his photography. Charles joined the association and eventually was awarded his Masters and Craftsman degree. The only photographer in Niagara to do so.

Vandersluys owns a very successful, popular portrait studio, plus indoor and outdoor wedding chapels, with Jacqueline, an extremely accomplished fine arts painter. She is on the Arts and Culture Wall of Fame. Charles service are not only in demand by the locals here.
