Biography:
Hi, I’m Charlie! I’m a London-based creative working in the broadcast industry, where I combine my love of photography with marketing to tell stories that connect with people. My background in fine art and photography (BA Hons, Kingston University) gave me a foundation in conceptual image-making — exploring how shape, colour, and texture can capture attention and spark emotion.
I bring that same approach into my work today, balancing creativity with strategy. Whether I’m producing visual content, shaping marketing campaigns, or creating photography projects, I focus on making work that feels engaging and authentic.
Some of my favourite projects blur the line between personal and professional — like Chiaroscuro, a portrait series inspired by classical painting techniques, which explores how light can completely shift the mood and impact of an image.
My work has been published by Kingston University’s BA Photography Instagram, The Royal Academy of Art’s Summer Photography Competition, and The Independent Photographer’s People Award Magazine.
At the core of everything I do, whether in photography or marketing, is the drive to make people pause, connect, and feel something. That’s what inspires me every day.
