Charles Ward

I have been a commercial photographer since 1985, specialising in aerial, food, product and classic car photography. I am also the creator of Pip Ahoy!, as pre-school animation that began life in Salcombe 25 years ago. I can also offer you a consultancy and training, should you be interested in starting your own photography company, or would like to install your own studio for food and product photography.

Pip Ahoy! started life as an idea called The Salties and became a TV hit show, voiced by Sir David Jason and songs by Keith Hopwood (ex Hermans Hermits) and Stacey Solomon. With 72 x 11 mins animations and a 20 minute Christmas special on YouTube, I am now looking to partner with like minded creatives, who would be interested in helping me re-launch the shows. If you have an idea for your own animation and would like to learn more about licensing and merchandising (L&M) within the industry, I can certainly give you plenty of advice.
