Charr Crail has a passion for photography and art, often combining the two. Day to day she works as a California-based photojournalist where her assignments range from editorial work for magazines and newspapers published in California, the US and abroad.

Crail began her photography career over 20 years ago as a staff newspaper photographer where she honed her skills shooting people and events on the fly, with only minutes to capture a compelling, storytelling photo for the next day's paper.

But the whimsical side of her creative force is often explored via personal projects, the current one being a series on fairies. But don't be expecting Tinkerbell, this is a whole different point of view.

Crail has been winning international photography competitions with her digitally enhanced imagery. Samples of her work can be seen on her web site www.CharrCrail.com. Also an avid blogger Crail has been actively chronicling her work-life and personal interests via the web.
