Creating Connections, One Frame at a Time
Hi,
Iām Rick Charles, and this is a little window into my world. In this photo, youāll see two of my proudest achievementsāmy daughter Ava, who at 13 is already belting out jazz and shredding on her electric guitar, and Isaac, my whirlwind of energy who never stops moving (unless itās begrudgingly walking around Disneyland! š). Heās passionate about Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and always on the go.
Iāve been a photographer for over 10 years, capturing everything from stunning food to live music events. Food photography holds a special place in my heartāprobably because I get to eat the subject afterwards! š½ļø Thereās something powerful about a dish that does more than just look goodāit tells a story, evokes an emotion.
Recently, Iāve realised that Iāve been so focused on building the perfect portfolio, following trends, and tackling the imposter syndrome that many of us creatives face, that Iāve lost that personal touch. So today, Iām switching it up. Whether this is your first time here or you regularly like and comment on my workāthank you, truly. šš¼
Beyond photography, music is my other passion. I produce hip-hop and Iām involved in several music projects. And if youāre into battle rap, you might know Premier Battlesāthe UKās version of 8 Mileāwhich I help run.
This year has been all about setting goals, and Iām proud to be on trackāwhether itās reaching my target of 1K followers (thank you for being part of that!), or running my first marathon on 6th October.
Passion fuels everything I doāfrom how I photograph food, to the music I create, to the stories I tell through my lens. Letās keep creating, sharing, and appreciating every moment together.

What a night š©µ
āAnd the new Premier Battles UK Championā¦ā
I canāt explain the feeling, hearing briggzy say that in a sold out Hootanany after the work Iāve put in to make this dream a reality. This is the most active Iāve been in a while and I did it with the aim to remind people that I am one of the very best this artform has ever seen. Within that year I beat K Shine so bad on his return he wonāt put the footage out. I won Champion - Body of Year on my @urltv Summer Madness debut, main evented @kotdtv World Domination against the best in the world @therealtayroc I went to war with my favourite up and comer @its.just.yunus and now Iāve won the prize that means most to me⦠the @premierbattleuk UK Championship.
To win that title while my mrs @saraphinaviolin and my neice Amielia was there, my boys @bigbobbyrex @bizzobond and @sleazyfbaby was behind me. And in front of the lads @bisonbriggz @rickcharles @theofficialplugtv @bodybagnall @cruger7 @fr4nkie365 with some familiar long time supporters in the crowd was genuinely the best night of my career to date. I canāt thank you all enough. A massive shout out to my boy Chris @ @cardtricksuk for making it all happen, you came through for UKBR.
Last but not least, @gemin1_ldn youāre are the real deal. What a warrior, thank you for the classic. Looking forward to what you do next. Thank you.

Alright⦠confession time š
Sorry Instagram.
I disappeared for a whole year.
Youād think Iād packed the camera in and taken up knitting or somethingā¦
Truth is ā Iāve been shooting loads, Iāve just absolutely neglected Instagram like a forgotten side salad š
So before anyone asks āare you still shooting?ā
Yes.
Very much so.
Iāve just been rubbish at posting.
Hereās a little dump from a couple of recent shoots to prove Iāve not been hibernating. More coming ā and Iāll try not to ghost you again ššø
