Charles studied photography in his youth but earned a reputation early as a newsreel cameraman, before moving to the United States in 1909. He subsequently found work for David Horsley working in his production company in New Jersey. Because early film was largely restricted to using daylight, David moved his production company in 1911-- taking Charles with him-- to Hollywood and opened the first movie studio there. This made Charles the first full-time cameraman in Hollywood. In 1913 he went down to Mexico to film newsreel footage of the Pancho Villa's Villa Rebellion. In 1918, he was one of the founders of the American Society of Cinematographers and served as the group's first Vice President.
