I'm Char, a digital and film photographer based in Manchester where I live with my three guinea pigs, my partner and my many, many plants.

I came to photography at an early age however my love of people and connection initially led me to two psychology degrees. In 2019, I developed a chronic illness and my ability to follow a typical career path was forever changed. In 2021, I fell back in love with holding a camera. I was suddenly able to connect with people again and share in their stories. I was able to capture what makes people who they are, the magic inside of them and the love that they have to give. I had always believed that I would be celebrating people in my career, it just turned out to look different to the psychology career I'd imagined.

Fast forward to now, I am here to capture your story, your connection and turn it into art. Photography has allowed me to share in so many beautiful lives and experiences. It will never not be an honour to me to capture your memories, the small, the big, the loving and the messy.
