Charlie Downes Photography
Charlie Downes is a professional photographer living in the west country but able to travel throughout the south of England to fulfil commissions. His interest in photography started as a young boy and developed over the years. In 2006-07 he completed a BTEC Level 3 course at Weston College, then between 2012 and 2015 he completed a Foundation Degree in Professional Photography through the University of Plymouth.
Charlie is happy photographing anything, but his preferences lie in photographing people. He especially enjoys wedding and engagement photography along with general portraiture work and photographing performers and the performing arts.
Between 2009 and 2010 Charlie and his wife Sue took a sabbatical to Crete where he spent time photographing weddings, baptisms, birthday parties, tourist events and local events in the Greek calendar. He very much looks forward to hearing from you and helping to capture the memories of your special event whatever that may be.
I had a 3 hour session with Charlie which was most enjoyable. He is a lovely, welcoming man and the photos look great. Excellent value for money. I am very pleased!

From Our Website
Having worked as an actor myself I am aware that casting directors are looking for faces that stand out. You need shots to show your character type. We will spend time chatting about the roles for which you would like to be cast. From this we will work together to produce your ideal set of photographs to enhance your chances of being cast appropriately. Likewise for models we work together to produce the look you want. It is vitally important to your career development to get it right. Sessions will last approximately 4 hours.
The session will include two hours of work in the studio or on location. There will also be time to chat about your ideas for the photo shoot. Light refreshments are provided. Your indoor session can include photographs taken either against high key (white) and /or low key (black) background. You are welcome to change clothing and a private dressing area is provided for this. There are several ideal locations within a short distance of my studio for outdoor shots. Transport to these will be provided.
