Charles is the leading silhouette artist in the UK and is frequently booked for weddings, corporate dinners, and a variety of other events. As an expert in the art of silhouettes, he has written a book and produced a film on the subject, and he enjoys speaking about this often-overlooked niche in the artistic and cultural history of the UK.

While many people associate silhouettes with the Regency period -think Jane Austen – Charles has worked to bring this traditional art form into the modern era. Through Zoom, he cuts portraits of individuals from anywhere in the world, mailing the finished silhouettes by airmail. At live events, he creates silhouettes on the spot, presenting them in elegant folding wallets that guests can take home, often branded with logos or event details.

The interaction with guests, combined with their amazed reactions, is something Charles particularly enjoys. Whether for a company Christmas party or a product launch, a silhouettist naturally enhances the atmosphere. Charles works closely with clients to ensure his silhouettes complement the desired mood of the event. The act of watching a colleague’s silhouette take shape captivates guests, while the process itself remains both entertaining and unobtrusive. Using nothing more than paper and scissors, this timeless art blends seamlessly into any setting.
