Charlotte has always had journalism and photography in her back corner. Growing up with a family full of journalists, she has a true skill for storytelling and capturing people’s most intimate moments. From studying Chinese at Edinburgh University, to working alongside a pop-star in Russia and volunteering at a refugee camp in France, Charlotte has allowed her camera to be her safe space and allow her acquaintances share their journeys with her and her audience. She is also a co-founder of Time Peace, a community that allows refugees and locals come together and create friendships that last a lifetime.
