Charlie started working as a photographer for National Geographic Magazine in his thirties and has to date shot thirteen stories, including two cover stories. In 2021, his coverage of the Serengeti filled an entire magazine issue, showcasing the changing dynamics of life for people and animals in the region. He has also worked on stories for the magazine in the Amazon, the US, and across Africa, covering topics ranging from bird cognition to rats. In 2022 he was awarded the ‘National Geographic Photographer’s Photographer Award.’

Charlie’s current photography work centres on a series of provocative fine art images titled ‘End Times.’ The images from the series document the current state of the planet, in bold, sometimes offensive and always controversial ways. They are designed to be both dark and funny and to leave the viewer with more questions than answers. Images from the series will be shown for the first time at Xposure.
