BEAUTY & HAIR PHOTOGRAPHY Nov 2016

From pre-school to art school, Charles Howells was always creating: be it paintbrushes or pin-holes, art was a medium of thought - when words didn’t cut it, pictures always could.

Photos became Charles’ obsession and in feeding on the works of Man Ray and Helmut Newton he set out to perfect his craft.

What was already an impressive competency multiplied as Charles took to New York - big sets and big names brought about a professionalism invaluable in his work today. Management of shoots with the likes of Pharrell Williams, Beyonce and Jay-Z to name a few, has prepared Charles for the most elaborate and demanding of projects - but he’s never lost his ability to stay grounded.

With innovative and creative client-collaboration, Charles harnesses his technical expertise and post-production proficiency to carry a project confidently from conception to execution. His ability to relate and connect with a subject allows Charles to achieve diverse and authentic results from his shoots.

Clients include Coke, Sony Japan, Samsung, Volkswagen, Nissan, Mini, Greenpeace, Vodafone, Johnson & Johnson, Karen Walker, Unilever, Universal, Panasonic, Nikon, L’Oréal and M.A.C.
