Charlie Best is one of London's most experienced and versatile corporate and portrait photographers. For over thirty five years he has been creating dynamic and interesting pictures for magazines, companies and design agencies all over the world, bringing a wealth of experience to each assignment and earning an enviable reputation for being organised, resourceful and delivering a great result for his clients every time. For about a decade and a half of that time the breadth of his magazine clientele was such that it was usually possible find one his photographs somewhere on the shelves of any well stocked newsagent. Recent commissions have included executive portraits for Bentley Motors, HSBC, Diageo, Santander, GSK, Lloyd's and Old Mutual, a two day trip to the Amazon for a global pharmaceutical company, corporate shoots around Europe for Fujifilm, Philips, several city insurance groups, top law firms TaylorWessing, Pinsent Masons and Blake Morgan as well as unit stills and marketing images for the BBC, ITV, Amazon and Netflix.
His much praised ability to relate to people from all walks of life and put them at ease in front of the camera comes from taking a genuine interest in them as individuals, and is reflected in the naturalness of the results, however tight the schedule. A testimonial from a recent corporate client summed it up rather well, "Charlie seems to bring out the best in all those he photographs," while a recent FTSE 100 client simply emailed “Oh. My. God. These are insanely good.”
He lives in London and Somerset and works more or less anywhere.
