Charlie Engman

Charlie Engman (b. 1987) is an American photographer known for highly creative editorial and art images that often blur the line between performance and portraiture. Raised in Chicago and based in New York, Engman gained wide attention for an ongoing project featuring his mother as a model in fantastical scenarios, challenging conventions of age and beauty. His work features vibrant colors, inventive styling, and surreal compositions that treat the human body as sculptural form. In both his personal art projects and his fashion photography for top magazines, Engman’s approach is experimental, witty, and unabashedly original, making him a distinctive voice in contemporary image-making.
