Reviews
We’ve worked with Charles for the past four years and he’s been an absolute pleasure to collaborate with. Not only is he an incredibly talented photographer, he also brings great energy and positivity to every shoot.
Charles has a fantastic creative eye and is constantly coming up with fresh ideas that help capture our people at their best. The quality of his photography is consistently outstanding… everyone is always excited to see the images he delivers.
What really sets Charles apart is his ability to make people feel comfortable in front of the camera. Even those who would usually feel awkward being photographed quickly relax around him. He creates a fun, easy-going atmosphere that makes the whole experience enjoyable.
Over the years, Charles has become more than just our photographer. He feels like part of the team. We all look forward to his visits and the warmth he brings to the office.
I would highly recommend Charles to anyone looking for exceptional photography. His talent, professionalism, creativity and warm personality make him genuinely remarkable.
I work for one of the world’s largest global technology companies and needed a photographer to capture internal meeting and conference room photos for our company’s internal website. Charles Sturge came highly recommended by a colleague – and he exceeded expectations.
From the outset, Charles was committed to understanding our requirements and the goals of the shoot. We had a very clear vision, and Charles ensured he had the right equipment and team in place to deliver exactly what we needed.
He is incredibly friendly, enthusiastic, courteous, and proactive. His professionalism was evident in his prompt and thoughtful email communication throughout the process.
I would highly recommend Charles to anyone in need of high-quality corporate photography. He is extremely reliable and talented, and he goes the extra mile to ensure his clients are completely satisfied with the final results.
“I am the office manager of a FTSE100 company managing 120000sq ft of office space and over 800 staff. I employed Charles a couple of years back primarily to take corporate head shots for marketing, intranet and communications purposes but also to photograph special events too. I needed someone engaging, charming and professional having inherited a photographer whose interpersonal skills weren’t great and whose finished product was good but poorly delivered.
Having used a number of ‘try before you buy’ corporate headshot photographers in London, I still wasn’t satisfied I had found the right fit and then I found Charles Sturge. Charles’s product is first class and his delivery is 21st century cutting-edge. We are always looking at ways to operate smartly and Charles provided a remote online solution before and after each shoot that has proved to be very popular and very light for the customer; it really is very impressive.
The shoot of course is the real reason we have complete and utter faith in him and his team. He has managed to get staff in front of the camera who have refused to get in front of the camera before. His customer service skills are exceptional allowing him to execute his craft impeccably. He is approachable and engaging which in turn gives the customer confidence and assurance which is reflected in the end-product.
I believe that I have found a pragmatic and unpretentious blue ribbon photographer who matches our own values and standards. I couldn’t think of working with anyone else.“
I can’t recommend Charles enough!
Charles and his team took pictures of our medical clinic. This included headshots, group pictures and pictures of the clinic itself.
Communication with Charles to agree on the work we wanted was very easy and he asked very specific questions which meant that he was well prepared on the actual day of the photoshoot. The day went very smoothly, credit goes to Charles and his team who were professional, friendly, and relaxed. He was able to send us the pictures in a very timely manner (even before the date we agreed on) and he was extremely flexible with all the edits and comments we sent him. He was also always happy to share his artistic view about photos we requested and making changes to make them look better. Basically, you are in safe hands if you go with Charles, and it is money well spent.
It was a pleasure working with Charles and his team & definitely we will work with him again in the future.

Responsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value
Absolutely amazing!
Having worked with Charles (Corporate Photographer) over the last 4 years, I can certainly say that we are extremely happy with the service that he provides. The image quality is always great, any after support given is always quick. I can’t give any faults. Would highly recommend!!!
Charles is an experienced and very professional photographer. He works well in the corporate environment, being well organised, prompt and courteous behind the camera.
He also produced final, hi-res images very quickly, allowing us to meet some tight marketing deadlines.
Would highly recommend.
