ABOUT ME
In 2005 I purchased my first digital SLR camera and then began taking photographs of everyone and every thing. Eventually I was photographing many of the people on my campus. In 2006, while still attending school I decided to get serious about photography and I launched my own company under the name Charles Antonio Photography. Elizabeth City could only contain me for so long and in 2009 I made the move back to the Raleigh and opened first studio. While surviving the many hardships, I still continued to grow. I went from barely getting one paid gig a month to operating one of the largest studios in the RDU. Working under the name DIAMANTI PORTRAIT STUDIO, I grew my business beyond imagination. However I felt that I was losing my identity in the company and in 2013 I returned the company to the original name. 1 year later I decided to give up the studio in order to travel the country and share my gift of imagery to those in other areas as I did when the company first began.
Having shot professionally for almost a decade, I have managed to go from a student photographer to one of Carolina’s best fashion & event photographers. My work has been featured on national news outlets and several publications with celebrities such as Keyshia Cole, Monica, Trey Songz and many more. My work has also been featured on television networks such as FOX and WRAL.
