Charlotte Greenwood is an experimental fine art photographer based in the North East of England, working with both analogue and digital mediums, predominantly within the realm of cameraless photography.
Originally from Lancashire, she moved to London in 2017 to pursue a Bachelor of Arts in Illustration and Visual Media at the University of the Arts London, from which she graduated with First-Class Honours in 2021.
Charlotte uses her deep affinity for the natural world and organic abstraction as the main motivators for her work, exploring nature's sublimity and boundless creativity through intimate perspectives. Particularly in the context of the current climate crisis, her work seeks to foster a greater sense of connectedness and appreciation for the environment, inviting viewers to rediscover their intrinsic bond with it.
Charlotte has exhibited her work nationally and internationally, including a notable exhibition at the Royal Photographic Society in Bristol. She was awarded first place in the Abstract category of the Fine Art Photography Awards 2022, and her Cliché-Verres in Colour series has been featured as a centre spread in New Scientist magazine.
Statement
Working at the intersection of art and science, my practice combines techniques from painting and photography to explore the inherent unpredictability and beauty of nature.
Capturing abstract, macro views of natural phenomena, I offer glimpses into the unseen forces that shape our surroundings, uncovering new worlds within our own where cellular structures and cosmic formations merge. These perspectives highlight the interconnectedness of things, reminding us that we contain the universe just as much as we exist within it.
In a world where structure and control dominate, my process embraces the opposite: ambiguity, imperfection, and the organic spontaneity of nature. Through the creation of my art, I escape this world, and through it, I invite the viewer to do the same.
At its core, my work is about reconnection: to nature, to each other, and to the deep, intrinsic bond that unites all life. It is a return to something essential—something we have always been a part of.
