London Photographer with a distinctive style and the innate ability to translate ideas into extraordinary images. Fourteen years of experience have made Charlie Burgio Photography a synonym for quality and reliability. His specializations include Portraits & Headshots, Events, Branding and Video.
Flanked by his team of image experts, Charlie produced numerous creative projects mixing photography with set design, fashion, makeup and video. His trademark is the light, which he uses in an almost pictorial manner, defining ethereal and enticing shapes and worlds. His mother island, Sicily, has long been associated with the arts and Charlie's creativity is strongly influenced by the beauty of the idyllic Sicilian landscapes and by its prestigious Greek and Roman artistic heritage, which he studied to refine his aesthetic canons.
In 2017 his passion for fashion led him to London Fashion Week, where he worked for some remarkable designers. Since then, he has been the in-house videographer for the world-renowned designer Mark Fast, creating unique material for his fashion shows and catalogue.
His research on beauty has been enriched by a growing awareness of the problems of modern society that inspired him to produce photo and video reportages about issues like mass consumerism, human rights and the freedom of expression.
In 2020, amidst the uncertainty of the pandemic, Charlie embarked on a unique reportage endeavour, documenting the unsettling effects of lockdown in both London and Palermo. These thought-provoking reportages garnered significant attention from both national and international press, prompting Charlie to launch his inaugural Virtual Exhibition in 2021.
To date, the Virtual Exhibition has welcomed over 2000 visitors and received hundreds of shares, with plans to transition to an in-person exhibition.
Charlie's future prospects are indeed exciting and promising, including plans for his first personal photographic exhibition in London, photography workshops, and the publication of his inaugural photography book.
