Charles Mason Photographer

Welcome to my slowly growing website (February, 2010).

I live in Fairbanks, Alaska, where I have been for the past twenty-five years. I have taught photojournalism and photography at the University of Alaska Fairbanks for the past twenty years--a job I have grown to appreciate and love.

In the meantime I have actively and passionately pursued all kinds of photography, as you'll see here.

Somewhere along the way I have won awards for the work, including the Oskar Barnack Award at World Press Photo, POY awards, and others. I've also had a number of solo shows in and out of Alaska. My prints have been collected by individuals and a number of museum collections.

I've been published widely, in such publications as the the New York Times, Outside Magazine, Time, LIFE and others. Even The Weekly Reader. I also made it into Pictures of the Year issues in Time and LIFE, Stern, and the Photography Annuals of PDN and Communication Arts.

Now I mostly shoot my family, my travels (with and without my family), assignment work that comes my way, and some commercial work here in Fairbanks. Enjoy the pics, and I'll try and keep them coming. I do cover Alaska stories for the New York Times, and I am represented by Getty Images and Alaska Stock Images.

Thanks for visiting!
