I was delighted Charlie accepted my invitation to shoot in Alicante for 2 incredible days across this last weekend in June 2025. Pre comms were easy, our third shoot and a collab. We both knew what we wanted and knew with each other we could work toward FPI’s.
Charlie had modelled internationally before. Charlie sourced brilliant outfits tailored to the locations we were shooting in that perfectly suited the style we were going for. Her creative input was priceless to producing the great images on the shoot. She makes every shoot relaxed and enjoyable.
Quoting Charlie “Mark tracked my flight and picked me up right on schedule from the airport alongside his lovely wife who might I add will stay friends with forever after this beautiful weekend!!
Their hospitality went above and beyond! I had a clean bed, a shower whenever I needed, we enjoyed gorgeous Spanish breakfast and dinners.”
I have a casting for more shoots in Spain and hope anyone considering it gets in touch with Charlie to confirm its safe and enjoyable. If they are anywhere near as good as Charlie they will be superb.
My wife and I picked Charlie up from the airport and kept her as comfortable as possible during a cruelly hot heatwave. Temperatures reached 38 at some points. 15-20 degrees above normal for this time of year. Quoting Charlie “He is professional, he made sure I took breaks and looked after me when the weather got hot!”
We work so well together. I admire Charlie’s work ethic, we were up at 7 and shooting soon after until way into the Friday evening. I expected a few hours shooting a day but was delighted Charlie and I shot from dawn until dusk only stopping to change venues and break for the gorgeous food we ate.
I think we shared the excitement almost running from place to place (in Charlie’s case sometimes in one flip flop, sometimes barefoot) and we took over 2000 photos. She’s a joy to work with and she remained motivated and unruffled throughout
We shot at a range of venues, fashion in streets scenes and I was thrilled watching her delight buying even more swimwear for our shoot. Charlie had even bought special clothing for shooting in the breath-taking mountains. We did a number of sets of swimwear on stunning beaches and in public parks, some nudes in isolated and private locations. I introduced Charlie to Urbex and Geocaching along the way.
She’s easy to talk to, hard-working, and genuinely great company. She poses freely and accepts any direction well (generally laughing at mine then producing even better results)
Work completed we shared stories snacking on the balcony at home. Really lovely to get to know the person behind the images. Charlie is a true friend, not just a model at the other end of the camera.
Shooting in Spain with Charlie was an unforgettable experience which we hope to share again soon. Ann says “September” I say “let’s jump on the next plane”. I have more venues, hopefully we can do the same again soon.
My third time shooting with her speaks volumes to her ability and I highly recommend her to others. Though not too much I want to fit in a few more shoots without her being booked up.
