Chuck Pekala

Hello.  My name is Chuck Pekala and I currently reside in Fort Lauderdale, FL.  For as long as I can remember, I've enjoyed photography and in recent years have spent as much time as possible developing my skills.  Through the help and guidance of friends, family and a few well-known photographers, I have come to learn a great deal about the art form. I hope to continue growing as an artist and look forward to exchanging ideas and learning from others in this arena. I hope you enjoy my photos.  I've included shots of what inspires me most: the beauty of the human form, and the world around us. In addition I've experimented with high definition video and included a few still captures from my first DVD: 'Stranded in Paradise'. Finally, today’s technology allows me to experiment with color and composition, which explains some of the photo effects I have included.
