I photograph the hours most people sleep through — the blue minute before dawn, fog burning off the headlands, the half-second a fox decides you are not a threat. A quiet record of light, weather, and wild things, made mostly within a day's drive of San Francisco.
Five series.
Every frame worth keeping.
Self-taught, mostly self-sent. I go where the weather is doing something.
Charlie Prigan is a landscape and wildlife photographer based in San Francisco. Since 2011 he has worked almost entirely within Northern California — the headlands, the redwoods, the fog line at Ocean Beach — returning to the same handful of places until they give something up.
The work is unhurried and uncropped: available light, long waits, no bait. Prints are made by hand in small editions.
Take a little of the
wild home.
Every photograph is available as an archival pigment print on cotton rag, in limited editions, signed. Inquire for sizes, pricing, and availability.
