He is already at work on his next book. Charlie is also a professional fine art nature, wildlife and landscape photographer, and has featured a few images of his work of the northern lights over Iceland on the cover and some of the final pages within his first book, as well as fully illustrated his second with a variety of his photographs. Some of his images from Japan are also featured in “To Become a Living Art.” His photography is available and visible on social media (Facebook and Instagram) by searching @NaturePhotobySC and can be purchased in a variety of prints and merchandise on his website www.NaturePhotobySC.com He can be contacted directly on there to ask questions or to discuss anything in regards to his works. His social media focused on his written works is @AuthorCharlieSiegel on Facebook and Instagram. Charlie was raised in a spiritual environment, honoring nature and respecting the Universe. This expresses itself in his writing, where he blends fantastical experiences with everyday life, to help people to find the magic and inspiration surrounding them and within themselves. Charlie has also been training in the martial arts since he was 4 years old and shares through the life story of his teacher how one can find success through passion, heart, grit and determination. He shows how the martial arts can transcend self-defense and become a powerful vehicle to learn to connect within yourself and with the world around you. With a background in inspirational poetry, his work often has a soothing flow to it, with a use of original and descriptive metaphors that paint a picture for the reader, not only of the scene involved, but of the meaning therein. His works are often archetypal, designed to connect with issues or struggles many may experience, and offer help and guidance to work through it and learn the lessons life can teach us, efficiently and effectively, while allowing you to get lost in the story at the same time. He hopes you find his work to be comforting and healing and invites you to explore his photography pages on social media to further see his works to uplift the soul and spread The Light.
