About Charlie

Charlie is firmly established as one of the world’s leading landscape photographers.

He was born in 1949 and worked as an actor in British theatre and television for the first ten years of his professional life. Throughout this period, he became fascinated by theatrical lighting and design. Gradually, the landscape and the way it can be revealed to us through light and shade stole him away from the acting profession.

His style is unique in that his photographs convey a spiritual quality of serenity and calm. He has established a worldwide reputation for his particular approach to his work. His photographs are held in private and corporate collections throughout the world.

Over the last forty years, Charlie has lectured throughout the UK, Europe, Asia and the US. He has held numerous solo exhibitions all over the world, including in London, Tokyo, Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne, New York and California. Charlie continues to provide tuition to amateur, professional and aspiring photographers of all ages from anywhere in the world, which he hugely enjoys.

In 2016, he received an invitation by the Royal Academy of Arts to exhibit in their Summer Exhibition.

In 2014, Charlie was awarded a direct Fellowship by The Royal Photographic Society. The Millennium year saw him being awarded the prestigious Honorary Fellowship to the British Institute of Professional Photographers, and, in 2007, he was presented with Amateur Photographer’s Power of Photography award, which is awarded to a photographer whose work is deemed to effectively demonstrate the powerful and memorable images of which photography is capable.

Charlie is frequently seen on British television discussing the finer aspects of landscape photography. In September 2005, he completed filming for a six-part television series on landscape photography. He has worked with numerous distinguished authors including Adam Nicolson, Jan Morris, John Julius Norwich and A.N. Wilson. 

Charlie is the owner and founder of Light and Land, the UK’s leading photographic workshop and tour company. For over 30 years, Light & Land has been running photographic tours, courses and workshops that are dedicated to inspiring photographers and improving their photography, both in the UK and worldwide. This is achieved with the help of a select team of specialist photographic leaders, all at the very top in their field. 

In 2007, Charlie launched the UK Landscape Photographer of the Year, an international photography competition to find the UK’s ‘Landscape Photographer of the Year’, which ties in perfectly with his desire to share his passion and appreciation of the beauty of our surroundings through photography.
