about charlotte lea

I'm Charlotte — a British-born interior and architectural photographer based in Southern California.

Growing up surrounded by thoughtful, intentional design gave me a deep instinct for the relationship between form, light, color, and texture. That upbringing shaped the way I see spaces — not just what's in them, but what they feel like, and how to translate that onto camera.

Shooting hundreds of homes across California has given me a perspective that goes beyond a single project or aesthetic. I see design movements as they happen, across styles, designers, and spaces — and that informs every composition I create. My work has been consistently featured across leading US and international design publications for years — see my press page for the full list.

If you have a project that deserves to be seen, I'd love to hear about it.
