Charlie grew up deep in South West Cornwall, England then relocated to Australia in his early 20's. Having developed a strong interest in the still image through his teenage years, escalated by a love of the ocean, Charlie studied Photography at the University of Plymouth, graduating in 2011. After 10 years in Australia, Charlie moved back to his hometown of Penzance with his family.

Inspired by early colour photography in America and the work of students from the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf, Charlie became engrossed by the slow process of shooting with large format film cameras, both 4x5" and 8x10". This allows images to be produced with incredible detail and depth and requires a much more methodical approach to image making.

Continuing this process today, Charlie displays work on a large scale and is available for commissions and exhibitions. Please contact for further details.
