Thank you so much for taking such beautiful photographs of the best day of our lives and for working so hard all day and night to make sure you got every moment.

I have worked and collaborated with Jennifer on numerous projects. Jen is always able not only to capture each finished sculpture perfectly but is able to tell the story of the process through capturing various fabrication stages. She is able to work safely in the workshop environment whilst there's no compromise on ideas. She is always respectful of my work and her passion for photography is clear to see. A deadline is never daunting and will always deliver. Rockstar!

In the world of professional boxing photography Jen has worked hard to become a respected and talented photographer, bringing something fresh to the images without compromising on quality yet remains modest. She is a team player and demonstrates it's possible to be successful in your field without being ruthless.

Photography is an incredible skill, a gift really, especially in sports photography when ‘the snapper’ must capture the moment. I first got to know Jennifer when she captured one such moment ahead of the Commonwealth super-lightweight championship between Scotland’s Jason Easton and Glenn Foot when the Beast from the East was raging in March 2018. At boxing weigh-ins your stereotypical pic is of the boxers in stare-down mode or posing with a fist in the air, but Jen had captured Glenn in mid-scream, his face contorted with aggressive intent.
It began a five-year association and friendship as Jen continues to capture the big and best moments inside and outside the boxing ring, her skills can be evidenced by the fact she has been at ringside at some of the UK’s biggest fight nights of recent years.

'Jennifer is a brilliant photographer and a pleasure to have on a film set. As well as being diligent, professional and respectful of all cast and crew, she is also a friendly presence and captured some wonderful stills and BTS images for a recent short film in testing outdoor conditions. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer'.

Body Image project
“Working with Jennifer was unexpected! I did not expect to feel so relaxed in sharing my story with her but her compassion and easy manner made it easy. I certainly did not expect to feel so at ease, safe and comfortable during the photo shoot. Even though it was emotional, Jennifer was so understanding and supportive that it was actually a cathartic experience. I feel truly blessed to have had this opportunity.”

“After seeing Jennifer's post on Facebook I felt like I needed to share my story with her so I got intouch. After speaking to her I instantly felt at ease and knew I wanted to go forward and do the photos . I felt really happy and confident to show off my scars, something I havent done before”.

Headshots
“I’ve been lucky to know Jen Charlton as a friend and admired her as an artist. Her work has touched so many people.
I’ve always felt anxious about being photographed, but Jen made the experience positive. Rather than simply taking pictures, she made it a genuine collaboration—it felt like an exploration of character, expression, and creativity. It never felt like I was being observed or judged; it felt like one artist working with another, discovering something together.
Jen has a brilliant way of creating an atmosphere of trust and ease, and I found myself curious about the camera rather like I’m curious about paint, intrigued by what it would reveal”.

Headshots
“I can’t tell you how @jennifercharltonphotography created this photograph because 1) I don’t know the technical terms; and 2) It’s top secret. I can tell you it was a joy to collaborate with Jen, so if you’re looking for some great portraits or headshots plus something a bit different go to Jen!” https://www.jennifercharltonphotography.com

I don't think I ever properly thanked Jennifer Charlton for my lovely portrait.
Jennifer asked me to take part in her #mentalhealthmatters project. It's not easy to talk about things you normally hide. I'm good a painting a smile, but it's also nice to have someone that can peal away the stuff and see the real you.
Jennifer is an amazing photographic artist and her visions are amazing. I'd definitely recommend her to you all, weddings, babies, tough boxers, bike racers and everything else in between. Nothing scares Jennifer xx
I wish you well my friend 🧡

“I think Jennifer Charlton is an excellent photographer. As she has just graduated from Kingston University with a First-Class honours degree in photography, she is of course technically proficient and knowledgeable but what sets her apart is an innate and unteachable instinct for the moment and, when she is taking the picture of a human, a remarkable empathy; she seems to know what it is like to be you, and with determination and great good humour she sets out to capture that essence. Any performer looking for head-shots, or person of gravity looking for a portrait of depth and truth, should look no further than Jennifer Charlton.”

Branding
“I can personally recommend Jen; she has a very creative and professional approach and definitely goes the extra mile in order to help you and your business move up and onwards. I can't thank her enough and wish I had done this some time ago. If you are serious about promoting your business then you won't find a better person to help you do this”.

TALK
As a Training officer in social work can I just say you have absolutely the right approach with such vulnerable souls.
We talk about "connection before correction" when managing behaviours and having a “window of tolerance” which you demonstrate presumably without formal training. Great stuff!
