My name is Charles Liban, the photographer behind Liban Creative Studio.

​

My journey started behind the lens as a wedding photographer, capturing love stories in real time. Those early years taught me how to work fast, adapt to any lighting situation, and connect with real people in front of the camera. Over time, that instinct for storytelling led me into the world of commercial photography, where I’ve spent more than 15 years helping brands—from startups to global icons—show up with clarity and style.

​

I’ve worked with top names like Harvey Nichols ME, Bloomingdale’s, Angelina Paris, and Boutique 1, and held leadership roles as Visual Production Manager at Alabbar Enterprises and Studio Manager for Bloomingdales.ae. I was also part of the Nikon Z Creators global campaign, and recognized as one of the 100 Most Influential Filipinos in the Gulf for multiple years.

​

In 2023, I relocated to Hamilton, Ontario, and today, Liban Creative Studio offers photography services to both commercial clients and consumer clients across Hamilton, the Greater Toronto Area, and Southern Ontario.
