lighting and composition—are second nature by now, but it’s his instinctive, thoughtful approach behind the camera that really makes his work stand out.

He creates an atmosphere that’s relaxed and collaborative, often using conversation, humour, or just a moment of shared understanding to break the ice. It’s in those unguarded moments that something real surfaces.
For Charlie, every portrait is a collaboration. He doesn’t just take a picture—he draws something out, whether that’s a flash of vulnerability, a spark of mischief, or a side of someone the world rarely gets to see.

His portraits feel personal because they are.

Charlie's recent clients include BAFTA, A24 Films, Sky Studios, Eagle Eye Drama and Cartier. His work has appeared in Hollywood Authentic, Vanity Fair, Wired, and more.

His technical skills—especially with lighting and composition—are second nature by now, but it’s his instinctive, thoughtful approach behind the camera that really makes his work stand out.
