Hi my name is charles

Welcome to my page, please take a look around and if you see something you like, let me know and follow for more. Now allow me to introduce myself

My photography journey started with a passion, when doing product photos at university.

I graduated with a design degree, but I didn’t pursue a career in the design industry. Instead I took on several 9-5 jobs whilst teaching myself how to take photos

And then I started taking my camera.. everywhere

In cities

In Nature

Cold environments

Warm environments

Wedding environments

And then I started an instagram page of those photos

But i felt something was missing, shooting the same locations, same settings, same camera. So I decided 2026 will be when I start taking photos of people and documenting all of the moments in between.

After all, what is a moment, experience and the destination, without the people that joined you for the journey.

Test shots and textures of London

Trying out a few locations and focal lengths in the capital, London.

Really impressed with how small my camera is but holding up in image quality, such a great setup for a photographer who doesn’t want to bring large or multiple bags worth of gear.

Happy Birthday Mark 🥳

This day I joined in celebrating an old friend’s birthday.

Unfortunately I could participate later that evening, while the main cohort had food, drink and karaoke all afternoon through.

This was my first time I had been to this chain of pub/bar. Located under the historic streets of Tower Hill, a stones throw from The Tower of London.

Thanks for the invite mate, hope you all like the photos.

On the day collaboration with @peerzadausama who replied to my stories.

The project, to shoot stills like they are film, and out of a movie. Whoever said they are tired of seeing London, need to challenge their vision of what they are able to create, as new opportunities and ideas can occur at any moment.

Being an artist means turning inner thoughts, feelings, and views into an outer form for others to experience. It requires no formal degree, sales, or fame. Anyone who creates original work, explores meaning, and shows up to make things is an artist
