Living in the Netherlands, creative photographer Charlotte Bellamy produces beautiful images and especially loves experimenting with ICM, multiple exposure and woodlands. In this insightful podcast, Charlotte describes her life at the moment and how her career has evolved over time.
 
Following years of travelling the world with her husband, and after a spell living in Chicago, they moved to the Netherlands.  She now believes there is no need to travel to exotic locations to create beautiful images and nowadays prefers to shoot closer to home. Whilst riding her bike or her pony she never tires of finding beauty in her local countryside, noticing all the small changes each new day brings.  She feels that images are more powerful if there is a connection to the area.  A master craftsman panel she did a few years ago all contained images from within half an hour of her home.  Travel is now reserved for family and holidays ....

Prior to arriving in the Netherlands, Charlotte was a portrait and wedding photographer. After putting her camera down for 6 months Charlotte found a mentor who advised her to photograph what she loved in order to relight her passion. She now photographs 'contrast' as the Dutch landscape is so flat. The way her work has evolved is fascinating to hear.

Charlotte describes how she loves experimenting with ICM and putting it into woodlands. Charlotte will join Margaret as one of the tutors on her Creative Light Photography Festival in October 2022.

Listen in to hear more about Charlotte's philosophy of 'hating to follow the crowd" which has resulted in her unique and beautiful images.
