Charles Everest

John Charles Everest (1929 - 2014)

Or Charles (as he was known to colleagues during his career as a Newsreel Cameraman) was born in 1929 with a hereditary illness - Hypohidrotic Ectodermal Dysplasia, or HED.  He was very fortunate to live beyond childhood and showed amazing willpower and single mindedness to live a normal existence.
Born into a family with a tradition in service to sovereigns and aristocrats, Charles had an interesting and privileged childhood. The freedom to mix with a cross-section of estate workers gave Charles a lifelong interest in people and their lives. A growing passion for photography, combined with mentoring by the renowned photographer and Royal Warrant holder James Sheridan (father of actress Dinah Sheridan), led to successful submissions to local newspapers, trade and county magazines which led to national media exposure.
Tenacity, focus and attention to detail helped him carve out a successful career as an award winning newsreel cameraman, film director and stills photographer.
Charles is now in his eighties and still has a passion for photography. Whilst he is a film man through and through, he is determined to master the new world of digital photography!
