Charles Page (born 1 September 1946 in Melbourne) is a Brisbane-based documentary photographer, and lecturer at the Queensland College of Art.
He obtained a Bachelor of Arts (Photography) in 1981 from the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology.
From 1984 to 1986 Page was one of 22 Australian photographers commissioned by the New Parliament House Construction Authority Art Acquisitions Committee to produce a folio of photographs based on the construction of the new Australian Parliament House, Canberra.
Images from this commission can be found in Picture Australia and the National Library of Australia, as well as images from Australian Antarctic Territory, Boggo Road Goal, construction of the Alice Springs to Darwin Railway, 2003, and 1st Battalion, Royal Australian Regiment in Somalia .
The project, which culminated in the exhibition Journey's North at the Queensland Art Gallery, aimed to encourage achievement and appreciation of contemporary art photography, as much as to celebrate and record the richness and diversity of community life in the late 1980s.
The project addressed environmental issues, the removal of the last Australian Huskies and the Antarctic Landscape.
