Today was my first shoot with Charlie and I'd been looking forward to it since we booked it in - actually before that because I've been a fan of Charlie's work since I joined the site. His pre-shoots comms were excellent so we were able to get straight into shooting on the day, with a clear idea of what ideas we were going with.

Charlie kindly agreed to shoot at my home as it's getting a little chilly for outdoor nude shoots. Having said that we managed to do three sequences in the garden and from what Charlie showed me on the back of the camera, it was clear he was capturing some fantastic images.

I highly recommend working with Charlie as he's a really lovely guy, very professional, easy to chat with and exchange ideas and has a great sense of humour - plus he takes beautiful images! I hope we get a chance to work again together very soon :)

Had a fab shoot with Charlie when he headed to my neck of the woods.

I've worked with Charlie a few times now and each time is really enjoyable. He is a lovely person to be around and a total gentleman.

We shot at several locations in my area and the shots we created looked incredible, I can't wait to see the final results :)

Happily recommended by me!

I recently had my 2nd location shoot with the fabulous Charlie From Bristol in the North East after a highly successful debut working together in summer.

Pre-shoot communication was excellent as always and Charlie was generous enough to collect me from the train station and chauffeur me to our various locations throughout the day.

Whilst on shoot Charlie was very attentive to my health & well being ensuring I felt safe and that I stayed warm and hydrated.

He was very considerate, polite and a pleasure to work with and I greatly look forward to seeing the new set of amazing images we created!

I would highly recommend!

It was lovely to finally meet and work with Charlie, and though we got off to a rocky , unpredictable start with some transport troubles, we got into the swing of things easily, dispute the blazing sun, I think we got some fabulous shots and I found him very easy, considerate and generous to work with. I would recommend him to any model who enjoys outdoor shoots and isn't afraid of hiking !

Another awesome shoot with Charlie! Number six!! :) This time, with the beautiful Mog too! :) Two of my favourite people together on one epic day of creative adventures in Pembrokeshire! And what a fab team we made, too! We've all worked with one another, separately, before. So having the three of us together was no problem at all - it really flowed as we bounced ideas off each other.

We had a fantastic day out, exploring so many different and varied locations. I thoroughly enjoyed myself! Every set we did was so distinct! At an ancient chapel, in a quarry, in the woods, and on the beach - so many different sets at each location - Charlie is very adaptable, and will always come up with something different!

I love shooting with Charlie. He really is the nicest, sweetest man there is. A complete gentleman, so polite, respectful, caring. Always making sure the model(s) are safe and comfortable, ensuring that we don't get caught out by walkers too - he treats his models with absolute respect at all times. He cares so deeply about everything, he is incredibly responsible, and his fore-thought and planning are unrivalled. Every aspect of the shoot is important to Charlie, and his work is of such high standard because of his attention to detail. Not only that, but he's also full of creativity, always willing to try new ideas out, he's great company, and also a great friend too. And he brings me quiche and other pastry based goodies! :) I seriously cannot recommend this man enough!!! Thank you so, so much for a really amazing day out, Charlie!!! :) :) :) ☺ ☺ ☺

My fifth shoot with the incredible Charlie!! :)

In some ways, I think this was our best, too - it was a relaxed affair - just really going with the flow - not making too many plans, and working with the weather to make the best of what we had.

I took Charlie to a place, fairly local to me, an area of wilderness - just hills and lakes - nothing else. The weather was mixed but became surprisingly sunny, and despite the cold biting wind, the views were incredible - the colours became alive!

There are not many features to this area - and some would struggle to capture this place. Charlie excelled himself - the very first few shots were instant winners - truely capturing the wild rugged beauty of the location, and capturing me in full feral mode as I stalked the long grasses, hugged the mounds of moss, and communed with the crystals and rocks.

After a very enjoyable day on the hills, we tried another location, for the sunset, but dog walkers foiled our attempts here. So we went back to mine and tried some boudoir / portraiture pictures - which completely blew me away when I saw them on the back of the camera! Wow!!

Everything else I have said about Charlie still stands... He is one awesome photographer and an extremely respectful and conscientous man, honest, kind, thoughtful, sincere, and very good company indeed. I would count Charlie amongst my good friends that I have been honoured and blessed to meet since I joined PP - and I wholeheartedly recommend him!

Thank you so much Charlie! :) X

I had a wonderful shoot with Charlie at my home. His pre comms were spot on, he was polite and friendly with an incredibly kind heart.

He allowed me to move freely as well as direct me when needed and we got some beautiful shots I can wait to show. I would happily recommend him to any model, a pure delight to work with.

Thanks Charlie!

So this was my fourth shoot with the amazing Charlie!!! :) Another two day epic adventure! :)

As usual, Charlie was completely professional, organised and prepared. He is very respectful, has my comfort, safety and well-being as his priority, and is a kind considerate and caring gentleman who would go to any lengths to help others. And he brings me pies. Really tasty ones at that! Winner! :)

I took Charlie to a variety of locations, adapting where to shoot in accordance with the weather, as it changed. We shot at an ancient burial chamber, where we were surrounded by some curious bullocks - and we ended up spending more time including them in the shots than the cairn itself!

We also did some experimental night-time nude fire poi photography on the beach. The next day we explored my local beach, and some local woodlands. I enjoyed every second!

Charlie works really hard and has incredible stamina - he'll walk for miles and put up with a lot of discomfort to get a good shot. I love exploring locations with him, and the sparks of creativity and inspiration that come from both our minds being focussed to the present moment, just absorbed in what we are doing, totally connected to our environment.

As usual, great direction and encouragement from Charlie. We review our images as we go along and I'm always really happy with his approach to working and the results that we get. He's an all round top bloke and fantastic company. Thank you so much! :)

Charlie is of course thouroughly recommended by me!

I had my first shoot (and hopefully not my last!) shoot with Charlie at my home yesterday. Charlie and I had our shoot planned for a little while and it was great to get the details finalised nice and early- Charlie is great with pre shoot communications.

Charlie arrived on time with great enthusiasm! After a cup of tea we got straight to it! We got through loads of sets in the time we had. Unfortuntaley outside it was a bit grim so we stuck to the warm house!

Charlie and I worked really well together and Charlie was friendly, professional, full of ideas, and I would highly recommend working with Charlie!

It's hard to actually figure out where the count lies with my shoots with Charlie actually because we spent a fair few days going at the beautiful highlands landscapes back in the springtime when we were first introduced but all I can say is... truly EPIC!!!!!! We shot this time at Joel Hicks Photographic: a place I thought right away would inspire us for the stunning grounds and location (which it did) but I cannot stop raving about just how much Charlie bossed it in the studio - for a photographer whose normally used to shooting in natural light/larger outdoor scenes he took some absolutely stupendous images of me and conquered the light so beautifully! I hope to see Charlie doing this so much more because he literally has more talent than he thinks and that comes from having that natural eye for a beautiful image. :D

The weather has a touch on the grim side so we did what we could outside and still achieved some very different and beautiful shots; when we ventured inside Charlie was happy to let me suggest ideas and do my thing/flow through poses but he was also so good at directing too which comes into plan more so when you are in a studio because you can communicate more as opposed to being quite some distance away separated by a noisy waterfall etc. He was so good at spotting angles of the body and poses that looked good from his perspective, we worked just small movements to nail a particular look and got some immense variety shot that day. From hanging from the ceiling to floating in man-made wind... we had it all on the go and every single set had something magic to give! :D

As always: Charlie was the most lovely and patient soul to shoot with and totally respected warm-up time to refuel for shots and get ready to go again. We chatted no-end like we have always done on our shoots and the day seemed to go very quickly once we got our flow going. I cannot stress to other models how much of a gent Charlie is to work with... you will have a laugh and get some wonderful shots produced at the same time. He is one of the most visually enthused people I have met in my career and it eggs you on more as a team when you can egg each other on creatively.

The images we got really are the business! Thank you so much Charlie, you were awesome!

Just had my THIRD shoot with Charlie..... this one was epic - TWO days - and definately our best one!! :)

We made some arrangements for the shoot but ended up having to change some of them very last minute... so I ended up driving down to Merthyr Tydfil and we did two days of trekking and shooting in a jaw-dropping beautiful area full of waterfalls, mossy woods, and caves....

Charlie was as wonderfully professional, respectful, polite and gentlemanlike as ever, and always made my comfort and safety a priority. He is organised and well-prepared. He looked after me well and kept me fuelled with meat pies and chocolate and coffee, to help keep me going. Working with Charlie is easy and very much fun. He gives good direction and encouragement, he makes it clear what he wants from each shot, and we review our images as we go along.

I enjoyed every minute of our shoot - it was really hard work at times - the physical aspect of walking through such difficult terrain, wading through rivers and sliding around on mud and slippy rocks - but Charlie is absolutely great company and good fun to be with! It was a proper adventure!

As usual the quality of Charlie's images are top-notch, and his creativity is amazing and inspiring! We have some fantastic images from this shoot and I am really pleased with them!

We have already noted some more EPIC locations for another shoot in the same area, so hopefully we will be shooting again as soon as possible - I am looking forward to that so much already!

Thank you Charlie! XX

Had my first shoot with Charlie this week.

It turned out to be a really fun shoot in the woods. Charlie gave great direction and had some awesome ideas. He is a really knowledgeable and genuine guy. I've already got some of the pictures back and they are brilliant.

I highly recommend working with Charlie and I look forward to our next shoot :)

First time shooting with charlie , up the Long Mynd in Shropshire. Charlie was incredibly organised , even travelling down the day before just to make sure he knew exactly where to shoot! .. as this was an outdoor shoot , on bank holiday monday , we had to dodge alot of tourists , but we managed to get what looked like some fantastic images and i cannot wait to see the results. I would totally recommend Charlie, to both new and experienced models, as he is great at giving directions ! ... I also wouldnt mind working with Charlie again in the near future ! Aston

Ah the lovely Charlie!!!!! :)

This was my second shoot with him.... and it was even more amazing and fun than the last!

He drove all the way up from Bristol to Aberystwyth and I took him to a fantastic location that I'd got permission to use. It was a very challenging shoot - mostly in terms of it being extremely dark in there, as well as really dangerous, with rotten wood and collapsing walls, floors and roofs. It also pissed it down outside, and we got very wet and muddy. We had to wade across a river to get to part of where we were shooting. It was not an easy place to capture, either. And there were various technical difficulties too... I was beginning to wonder if it was too difficult, and that we wouldn't get any good pictures in there at all. But fair play, Charlie's photos are AMAZING!! It is a testament to his talent and skill - to be able to come away with such good photographs where I am sure most photographers would have struggled.

Charlie is pretty hardcore - he doesn't seem to mind being dragged across a river, or through swathes of overgrown brambles and mud... He seems to cope really well with outdoor location shoots and seems to put up with a lot of discomfort to get the shots that he wants. I also worked him pretty hard and it was a full and long day for him - as well as 6 hours of driving in total, on top of that!!

I am full of admiration for Charlie's work... He is very creative and the images he produces are such good quality - as well as being something refreshingly different!

He is definately recommended and I am looking forward hopefully to shooting with him again!

Thank you for a lovely day! X

Where do I begin? :D

Charlie and I first met on a Photoclassic workshop up in The most Northern parts of the island... we then reunited at the opposite end of the country when I embarked on my Southern tour and it was arranged we were going to go chasing waterfalls in Wales. BRING IT ON!

Charlie was brilliant at sourcing some spectacular places to shoot in the Breacon Beacons national park: we actually ended up shooting two full days together and on day one we teamed up with David Charles who was also a keen location photographer - it was such a well thought out team because we all had this prolific love for the outdoors and the beautiful scenery: I could strike my poses and the two of them would bounce right off me and it was all down to Charlie for organising it so carefully as well as extensively checking out the locations beforehand to put the most productive plan into place. The day was a true blast, safe to say the images were of the most spectacular waterfall shots I have done to date - Charlie really has incredible visions for this style of model photography and he bagged some amazing angles whilst I was doing my crazy Keira thing clambering about and scaring the living daylights out of everyone. :D

On day two Charlie and I revisited the national park and did a bit of a road trip shooting as we went along... Stupendously amazing pictures being produced yet again and Charlie was never far behind me getting into position to seize each corker. Then it's almost like god punished us for having such a successful two days shooting - I ended up front-ending my car into a ditch so our evening ended waiting for the recovery van in the wilderness of the Welsh countryside. But even still, Charlie and I were laughing and joking and took some amazing shots to lighten the mood and make fun of the breakdown! He was such a help, so supportive and generous literally not resting until he knew I was safely on my way to my next shoot location. I cannot thank him enough for everything.

So aside from the crazy car-drama, getting mauled by midges at times and both of us getting into all manner of bonkers positions to get "the shot" it was such a brilliant two days of my tour and I thoroughly enjoyed finally getting to work with Charlie on a one to one basis. :) He has a heart of gold, is ever so respectful and sees that the models best interests are always looked after: he had soup to hand after I took freezing cold shower in the waterfalls and did lots of chauffeuring around during the two days. Communications were brilliant getting everything sorted efficiently and always getting back to me promptly even when we were organising last minute changes. He is a really great photographer who puts a lot of effort into achieving spectacular images at these places: I would not hesitate for a small second in recommending him and only hope we can work together again soon in the future. I have seen just a handful of edits so far and it's such a buzz seeing how our teamwork has made this incredible art - sure I can sit there up to my waste in water but without the eye for it, it just looks like a naked chick stood up to her waste in water! This gent captures the moment beautifully!

Thanks again Charlie!

Had an amazing shoot with Charlie! He is such a lovely guy - so easy to get with and talk to - so professional too! He put me at ease immediately and I felt very comfortable in his presence. He is kind, considerate, thoughtful, and very conscious of the model's comfort and safety at all times. As a photographer I think his skills are exceptional. I love his attention to detail and his passion for what he does.

Charlie drove up to Aberystwyth and we went on a mini adventure from there, up to a few of my favourite locations. He was adaptable and easy going - we just went with the flow of the day - getting covered in moss and mud by a waterfall in the woods, dusty in an old tin church during a thunderstorm, and wet and sandy on the beach in some glorious sunshine. He gave really good direction, while also allowing for me to try poses out and be creative.

Really pleased the awesome photos that are edited so far from the shoot. Would definately 100% recommend working with Charlie!

What a lovely, enjoyable day - thank you so much Charlie!! You are welcome here any time! :)

Charlie made the long journey from Bristol to take part in our Art Nude in the Landscape Workshop, which takes place in the north west Highlands (Sutherland). As well as camera gear and the outdoor equipment and clothing recommended, Charlie also brought a keen desire to get as much as possible out of this workshop and enthusiastically took part in every activity. He was an absolute gentleman with the models and joined in the group banter, which always makes running these events easier as everyone gets on better when they laugh together. He was not phased at all when the weather conditions forced us to switch to second or third options and he was not afraid to ask questions during the lectures to ensure he got all the information he wanted. To top it all off, he kindly bought us all lunch on the final day. It was a pleasure to meet Charlie on this workshop and I would definitely recommend him very highly to any models looking to shoot with a creative photographer who will take care to ensure their safety and comfort, no matter what the conditions.

I have worked with Charlie a couple of times in the past, but the most recent was at the Photoclassic 'Art nude in landscape' workshop!

Charlie made a great addition to the team, was very respectful and kind throughout and got some stunning images from the weekend!

He was also incredibly thoughtful and treat us all to lunch on the last day, as well as treating us models with a yummy lindt bunny with it being a workshop over easter weekend :)

He's such a genuine, down to earth person that is a joy to be around!

Hope to see him again soon :)

Highly recommended!

Charlie's awesome!!!

He came along on this years Easter workshop run by PhotoClassic up in the Scottish Highlands, accompanied by all the crazy crew... goodness knows how he put up with three bonkers models but he was a epic member of the team with amazing stories that kept us entertained during the road trips to different locations and a truly lovely nature in every way possible. He is so down to earth, amicable and knows how to have a laugh mid-shoot as well... we all had a terrific rapport going both on set and during down time. Models will certainly struggle to find anyone to work with that has a bigger heart and more perfect shoot etiquette, literally a true gent.

Charlie was greatly in his zone with the location work, we visited a number of different places in probably every possible extremity of weather but this did not stop him creating some really beautiful images and making the very best out of a creative opportunity. He brings so much enthusiasm with him and will analyse a situation with care to snatch good composition in a landscape. His ideas were really the business; he's on the ball for trying to achieve something WOW but bounces off the models too to get a flow with the shoot.

I really do look forward to the opportunity of working with Charlie again in the future. Hopefully sooner than later, I anticipate it being a blast. :) He's completely genuine and good natured and I can recommend him with very high regards. The images he took are STUNNING!

Thanks again Charlie! :D

I had the pleasure of working with Charlie at this year's 'Nude in the Landscape' workshop hosted by Photoclassic.

Not only is Charlie a fantastic photographer, he is also an incredibly interesting person with loads of fascinating stories to tell. I really liked Charlie from the moment I met him - and he managed to put up with me for three days - that deserves a medal in itself!!

Charlie is kind and was always considerate of the models comfort and safety throughout the weekend.

The images from the workshop look fantastic too!

Very highly recommended!
