Charles Dennington

Bio

Charles Dennington grew up on a banana farm in Korora on the mid-north coast of NSW and in his youth quickly developed a love for experimenting with image-making initially through collecting magazines, painting, and assemblage later getting access to various cameras for the first time in his early 20s at university.   Within Dennington’s work he confidently embraces rich palettes and a sophisticated use of color, light and shadow imbuing his subject matter with vast depth resulting in strong presence and character within his images.    Dennington’s photographic works are held in various private and institutional collections including The Art Gallery Of NSW and The National Portrait Gallery. As an emerging photographer his installation Peripheral Canopy was included in the yearly NEW program at Australian Centre for Contemporary Art, Melbourne in 2014.   Charles Dennington’s lead editorial and iconic cover images have appeared in magazines including Vogue Australia, 10Magazine, Rus
