Hi, I am Charles Liban.
I’m Charles, a Hamilton-based portrait photographer with a global background. For over 15 years I’ve photographed people across North America and the Middle East, and I bring that calm, editorial approach to every session in Hamilton. I also work throughout Burlington, Oakville, Dundas, Ancaster, Stoney Creek, Waterdown, Mississauga, Toronto, and the GTA.
My work is clean and minimal with natural retouching—images that feel like you and stand the test of time.
What I photograph
Families: Relaxed sessions timed for great light and colour at favourite Hamilton spots.
Personal Branding: Polished portraits and lifestyle frames you can use on your site, LinkedIn, and socials.
Engagements: Simple, location-driven portraits that feel like the two of you.
Weddings: Thoughtful, people-first coverage—from intimate elopements to streamlined full days.
Headshots (Corporate & Actors): Consistent team headshots on-site, and expressive actor headshots that read well on casting platforms.
How sessions feel
Before we shoot, we’ll have a short planning call to align on goals, location, wardrobe, and where the images will live. On the day, I’ll guide you with simple prompts and micro-adjustments so you’re never guessing. Editing is natural. Your gallery arrives online with web- and print-ready files.
Service area
Hamilton, Ancaster, Dundas, Stoney Creek, Waterdown, Burlington, Oakville, Mississauga, Toronto, and the Greater Toronto Area.
