Our Story
With over 25 years of experience in the industry, our founder, Colin Charles, has built a reputation for excellence, earning more than 30 awards for outstanding photography. Our journey began with a passion for photography, which was nurtured during Colin's school days, where he studied various types of photography, including black and white processing and dark room skills. After being made redundant from a local camera shop, Colin decided to take the leap and focus on his photography business full-time, and we're thrilled to have never looked back.
