Nova Capture is Charley Parden. After graduating from the University of Alabama in 2007, Charley moved to New York. With a strong analog background and an intuitive understanding of lighting, he started off assisting. A year later, he just fell into digital teching. Learning as he went, gaining knowledge and developing a strong client base, he quickly found himself at the convergence of art and technology, working beside some of the world’s foremost image makers.

It's 2025, and as the industry and world has changed, Nova Capture continues to evolve and expand. We offer an array of services, from custom-tailored capture packages and equipment rental to workflow consulting and livestreaming. All our freelance digital techs are highly trained and thoroughly professional, vetted for their knowledge and communication skills. Our focus is not just capture management, but to provide industry-leading support to photographers to strengthen their practice and reinforce photographer-client relationships.

Editorial can serve as a space for photographers to define and refine their image-making process, and we’ve been there for it all. Glossy fashion stories, celebrity profiles, lifestyle, documentary, architecture and personal projects have been some of the most rewarding, and challenging, jobs throughout the years.

We’ve had the esteem of working with some of the biggest brands in the world, providing services for all types of shoots in all types of locations. Whether it’s advertising campaigns, e-comm, packaging, advertorial, rebranding or launching, we’ve been on set for fashion, cosmetics, fragrance, still life, automotive, pharmaceutical, big tech, celebrity, events, animals, babies and just about anything that can go in front of a camera.
