Spotlight Awards judges from VMLY&R, Hearst, CHANEL, TBWA\HAKUHODO and Vogue voted Charlie’s image as the winner of the Fashion Photography category.

Additionally, Charlie was collectively voted as our 2021 Spotlight Awards Grand Prize winner.

"I used to be a musician in Brighton, England, but after having to leave my music career due to a chronic illness that brought my life to a standstill, I picked up a camera. Jumping quite a few years forward, I found myself doing a short season in Cape Town fumbling around with my camera and I became hooked.

My love for music and its natural tie in with fashion definitely dictated the path I’m on now. There’s no buzz like photographing a musician you listen to on repeat or idolised as a kid."
