# Charlotte May Photography

Charlotte May Photography is a London-based commercial and beauty photography studio specialising in product and brand photography for the cosmetics and skincare industry. Located in SE18, the studio works extensively with established beauty brands and emerging indie labels, capturing high-quality imagery for marketing, e-commerce and editorial purposes.

The photographer serves beauty brands, cosmetics companies, skincare lines and luxury product manufacturers who require professional product photography. This includes major names like Estée Lauder, Clinique and Dermalogica, as well as independent and emerging brands such as Slick Beauty, EspressOh and London Grace.

What sets Charlotte May Photography apart is their deep specialisation in the beauty sector combined with technical expertise in product photography. Rather than being a generalist studio, they've built particular proficiency in styling, lighting and composition specifically for cosmetics, skincare and beauty products—understanding how to showcase texture, colour and packaging effectively. Their extensive portfolio across diverse beauty brands demonstrates versatility in working with both premium heritage lines and contemporary indie brands.

The studio's approach balances commercial demands with creative execution, evident from their ability to service both major multinational corporations and smaller independent beauty companies. This breadth of experience means they understand varied commercial requirements, from e-commerce optimisation to high-end editorial work. Their location in South London provides accessibility while maintaining a professional studio environment for beauty brand photography.
