About Tribe Photos

Tribe Photos, led by Charles B. Watkins, Sr., specializes in corporate, political, and high-visibility event photography where discretion isn’t optional and professionalism is expected.

Charles’s path into event photography began through his wife’s political engagement, but what started as documenting campaigns became a calling. As an artist and musician, he was drawn to photography’s unique challenge: capturing unrepeatable moments with light and shadow. In high-stakes events—corporate galas, political fundraisers, celebrity-attended functions—there are no retakes. The photographer has one chance to capture what matters.

That understanding shapes his approach. Charles works with awareness, timing, and restraint, understanding that in environments where visibility is high and reputation matters, the photographer must be invisible yet capture everything. His clients—corporate executives, political campaigns, and entertainment industry professionals—rely on him for calm, professional coverage that respects protocol, anticipates key moments, and never disrupts the flow of the event.

With years of experience in political, corporate, and celebrity environments, Charles understands what separates competent photography from coverage that protects reputation and preserves the moments that define leadership, celebration, and human connection.

Based in Rossville, Tennessee, (just outside of Memphis, Tn) Tribe Photos serves clients throughout the region and nationally for select assignments.
