"Charlie is an extremely conscientious photographer. When photographing for the Time Out Guides he is always enthusiastic about the commission and generous with his efforts to get it right.
As sole photographer of the ‘South of France Guide' and key contributor to ‘Perfect Places Britain' he understood our house style and translated it through his work perfectly".
Lynn Chambers, Picture Editor, Time Out Guides
"Charlie is a very unique photographer who is able to understand a difficult situation, make his subjects feel at ease and get amazing results. Twice we have asked him to take portraits of people excluded from society either through substance misuse, homelessness or mental health issues who are getting assistance at social enterprises. Both times he was able to reach out and connect with his subjects in a way that gave the portraits incredible honesty and depth. His professional and friendly manner was commented on and appreciated by the staff at both places, and the photos were given a prominent place on Guardian.com and praised for their power".
Caroline Borge, Senior Press officer, Social Enterprise Coalition
"I have worked with Charlie on a couple of photo shoots and found him to be very easy to work with. He is versatile, creative and has always welcomed my comments or suggestions".
Christelle Humbert, Design Manager, Association of Accounting Technicians
"Charlie first worked for us 3 years ago, and has now become our resident photographer working on a number of experiential and sampling briefs. Charlie is quick to respond to briefs and is extremely flexible and willing to fit in short notice work. He has the ability to grasp the brief with full understanding of what we, and our clients, want.
On the job Charlie brings out the best in our teams, and adds his own creativity to shots, bringing to life the activity whatever the environment. He is a joy to work with; his humour and personality make everyone on site feel at ease resulting in fantastic shots we have gone on to share with clients and use for case studies".
Becky Allam, Senior Account Manager, Carbon Marketing
"Charlie is a professional, extremely creative, quick to understand a brief and gets the best shots that help bring the campaign to life. He always works very hard to deliver what the shoot requires".
Simon Goldsborough, Account Manager, Munro & Forster PR
"Charlie always delivers great work to very little brief, putting the client at ease and getting the best from some 'not ideal' locations".
Emma Herrod, Editor, Internet Retailing
"Our organisation was looking for a professional photographer for the redevelopment of its publicity. After locating several photographers, Charlie came to our offices to discuss our requirements. It was a team decision to use Charlie for the project because he seemed professional in his approach to his work, had an excellent portfolio, understood exactly what we wanted and his enthusiasm was second to none.
Charlie had a difficult task in meeting our clients for the first time, ensuring they were comfortable with him in order to make a success of the project. He worked with us over a period of two days. The clients he worked with have a variety of complex issues and were aged between 16 and 75 years of age, Charlie approached each individual in a none judgmental and respectful manner.
Charlie was fantastic in getting the final pictures to us and ensured we were happy with the end result. I would recommend Charlie Pinder to others, he is friendly, easy to contact, dedicated to his work and it was an absolute pleasure working with him."
Leah Haynes, Grants Officer, Campden Charities
"On the rare occasions that a lens turns my way, I generally burst into tears, or a sprint, or both. Fortunately super snapper Charlie Pinder made the process of obtaining a new photo pretty painless. So much so that I recovered my faculties almost instantly...and set about pursuing cheeky questions without missing a beat."
Shannon Denny, Editor, Living South, Archant Life
"An all rounder - from commission to delivery, Charlie delighted us with his professionalism. He worked to deadline without breaking sweat and illustrated our editorial to perfection."
Penelope Bennett, Managing Editor, Spears Wealth Media
"I had decided to get some photos done for a new website I was putting together, but I had a very specific image and style in mind and was concerned that a photographer might not be able to interpret my vision. However, not only did Charlie deliver the stylish look I was after, he did it with passion, patience and imagination. He also made the model I used feel at ease. He is truly a credit to his profession. Thank you so much."
Cherry Woods, Skincare expert, The Cherry Woods Skin Clinic
"I commissioned Charlie, on behalf of Vebra Solutions Limited, to take high quality shots of a selection of interior-designed estate agency offices around the UK (Vebra customers). His brief was to take pristine colour-coordinated shots with interesting architectural details of the buildings & interiors. He listened to what I wanted & was sensitive to Vebra's customers too. This had the effect of keeping very busy estate agencies happy, more so when they saw the photographs. Charlie has worked with Vebra on a creatively & logistically challenging project & has produced a very high quality end result, which everyone concerned is extremely happy with. I will definitely use him again when a suitable project comes up in the future."
Mandy Keating, Design & Marketing Project Manager, Vebra Solutions Ltd
"I first met Charlie nearly a year ago to look over his portfolio and consider him for any forthcoming projects. I was instantly impressed by his enthusiasm and willingness to give anything a shot. During the course of our working relationship, I have never found anything to be unhappy about. Aside from the fact that because working with him is so much fun, I often feel guilty, guilty that I am having so much fun at work. Because of this, I've recommended him to all my colleagues and feel a little surge of pride that I was lucky enough to work with him first. If I ever get married, I'll be booking him. If I can afford him that is."
Clare Kelly, Editor, The Green, Archant Life
"Charlie's just great, still life photography brought to life with his flair and enthusiasm. His keen eye for detail and quality resulted in fabulous shots and his humour kept us chuckling all day. A wonderful personality behind the lens."
Dominic Hughes, Proprietor, Pot Pourri Flowers, Chiswick
"We used Charlie Pinder for some of our corporate portraits for our company website. We are pleased with the results and our staff very much enjoyed working with Charlie."
