So, Charlie. What can I say?! Your amazing, your work always comes out with a crisp and beautiful look about it. It never ceases to amazing me. You always seem to incorporate a sparkle, that sometimes never shows up in photography. Love your work.

I have been a huge fan of Charlie's for quite some time now! Her work is absolutely beautiful and I feel blessed to have her for inspiration!

I came across Charlie's photostream by accident, and what an accident it was. The first thing I noticed is that every photo screams "I'm expressing myself!". And Charlie wasn't afraid to do so. The second thing i noticed was how beautifully lit the shots are. Charlie is excellent with light and she knows how to make it work... And the result is visually stunning. Charlie's photostream is one of the best on flickr, because it's mainly expression of a man. And in the two years Charlie has been doing this project, she created a document about herself, and I almost feel like I have known her in person for years!

Well I've known about the crustydolphin for some time now but only recently added her as a contact. WOW! I invite you to take a stroll down through Charlie's stream (Like I did) and see the fantastic improvement that's readily apparent over time. It is quite something to see her unique vision unfold.

Charlie amazes me with her work. From black and whites to bright colorful images of beaches and all the tones in between. I enjoy seeing the creativity of her self-portraits, which range from deep and dark to fun and energetic, but it was a black and white landscape, {it all ends with a tree}, that I first took notice … Read more

Charlie amazes me with her work. From black and whites to bright colorful images of beaches and all the tones in between. I enjoy seeing the creativity of her self-portraits, which range from deep and dark to fun and energetic, but it was a black and white landscape, {it all ends with a tree}, that I first took notice of her work. If I had the time, I could spend days studying her technique and asking questions on what inspires her and what she looks for in creating the final image. She's a rock star!

Charlie has proved herself to be a genuine and friendly member of the Flickr community, her pictures are outstanding and her ideas are limitless, she possesses such a creative soul! Her greatest asset though has to be her fabulous sense of humour and admirable ability in not taking herself too seriously, a visit to her Photostream is an uplifting experience and will immediately improve your mood! Thankyou Charlie! xx

It's not like Charlie needs another testimonial, but she definitely deserves one. Her talent and beauty just pops out in every photograph she takes. Not only is she beautiful and talented, but she's one of the sweetest friends I have made here on Flickr. She inspires everyday!

Very talented at showing her emotions through self portraiture. I also love her use of natural light and the bright beautiful colours that inhabit her stream. She's my fav on Flickr, plus she's my most loyal commenter and follower! ;)

Hmm… What to say about Charlie… Well although confusingly named “Charlie”, she is ACTUALLY a woman. There are several photos on her stream to confirm this. Charlie lives in a small town in England called London. She is employed by the Eastenders Corporation and drives a Taxi on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, and works in the Café or on the Market Stall during the weekend omnibus… But I digest… I found Charlie’s stream quite late (she’d already done one 365!) but I was instantly astounded by her use of light and her intuitive awareness of what makes a wonderful image. Apart from her obvious beauty, she is very smart, funny, friendly, incredibly talented and possibly the busiest person on Flickr. On a personnel note I’d like to thank her for making my days just that little bit more enjoyable … And a LOT more enjoyable on a Thursday… ;o)

What this girl does with lighting I stand in awe of...she's inspirational, and has such a fantastic way with tones and textures too that every single photo she posts fills me with wonder...I've only been tracking her 2nd lot of 365 for a couple of months, but what I've seen has been touching, funny, artistically creative, and just damn awesome. you go, girl. And also, we have to meet IRL sometime for a shoot, fellow nikon-ite ;) x

There are few simple things in life, however there is the simple fact that Charlie's natural beauty and grace make her a natural for portraits and self portraits. Coupled with the fact she is a lovely, warm hearted and funny lady maks it an honour that she is a friend on here!

I fell upon crustydolphin's stream not that long ago, and I'm so glad that I did. Her photos are so compelling and honest. She exudes warmth and imagination everyday. Her ability to use light is incredible. I find her such an inspiration. Aside for her phenomenal photographic skills, she is probably one of the friendliest people I have encountered on Flickr. Considering the abundant amount of comments she receives on each and every photo of hers, she still takes the time to acknowledge individuals who do comment. She's definitely someone I would want to meet in real life.

I'm just lovin' Charlie's stream. Day after day she produces artistic and creative images, often with a bit of humour thrown in. She is open and outgoing, kind with her own comments and from my perspective, generally a fun lovin' gal. I'm jealous of her because she has such an attractive and willing model in herself, whilst I'm stuck with me :oP Keep up the good work Charlie. And remember, even if you're not having your best day, by posting in Flickr you're probably making it a good one for many others! Big hugs lass...

I first discovered Charlie in Explore and in the 365 Days Project and I've been following her stream ever since. The way she uses and manipulates natural light is a skill I'm constantly astounded by and her photos are just beautiful to see. She is a beautiful soul who goes through everyday ups and downs and it shows in her photos. There's a beauty and honesty you can see in each photo, whether subtle or in-your-face, that just resonates in your soul. Check out her stream, you'll find out what I mean!
