Charlie Borst
Director of Photography
NPPA
Bethesda, MD, United States
Over 30 years of experience in the newspaper, magazine, wire service and photo agency sectors as a director of photography, photo editor and photographer. I have worked for small-town newspapers, the world’s largest news-gathering organization AP), major metro dailies (Chicago Tribune, with freelance gigs at the Washington Post and USA Today), the nation’s second-largest news magazine (Newsweek), and founded a photo service for a national newspaper chain (Knight-Ridder Tribune.) Along this journey, I've seen the Twin Towers collapse, bounced on Bill Gates’ trampoline, watched SCUD missiles fall on Saudi Arabia, journeyed to five Olympic Games, experienced weightless flight with a plane full of queasy schoolteachers and seen my wife being ogled by a President.
