After working in productions as a photo stylist for a few years - where she observed and learnt from numerous photographers - she started to shoot and develop her practice, eventually quitting her daily job to become fully devoted to photography.

Charlotte shoots exclusively on film. Her work is raw, organic and accidental, mainly influenced by science fiction and horror movies. Her style is very cinematic. She likes to work in the studio, where she can play with lights and colors. Her photos capture the feel of a different time, somewhere between the 80’s and today.

Beauty is an abstract notion, it is a sensory or intellectual experience specific to each person. With my work, I want to show my own perception of beauty, something else than the overly standardized representations of the beauty and the bodies. My creative process is simple and very instinctive, it’s a feeling in my guts, all of a sudden something happens and I know I have to take this picture.

‘I like the idea that something unexpected, an ‘accident’ is captured and becomes the important thing in a photo. That's why I work only on film. The limited freedom of analog, deprived of technology, forces my eye to be focused on this magical moment that will make me push the button. Taking pictures is a visceral need to express myself.’
