Charles Clovis Dardenne

Charles Clovis Dardenne is a London-based photographer and Super 8 filmmaker, creating timeless imagery for weddings, brands, editorial projects and lifestyle commissions across the UK and beyond.

With a passion for authentic storytelling, Charles combines modern digital photography with traditional analogue film to produce work that feels natural, cinematic and emotionally honest. His distinctive approach is rooted in capturing genuine moments rather than staged perfection, allowing every project to reflect the personality and atmosphere of the people and places he photographs.

Super 8 film has become a defining part of Charles' work. Drawn to its nostalgic character, organic texture and timeless aesthetic, he incorporates genuine Super 8 filmmaking into weddings and creative commissions to create films that feel personal, emotive and unlike anything digital can replicate. Every frame is captured intentionally, preserving memories with warmth, movement and authenticity.

Alongside weddings, Charles collaborates with brands, creatives and businesses to produce editorial, commercial and lifestyle photography that tells compelling visual stories. Whether documenting a wedding day, photographing a campaign, creating professional portraits or producing visual content for a brand, his focus remains the same: creating honest, beautifully crafted imagery that connects with people.

Known for his calm and relaxed approach, Charles believes the best photographs come from allowing people to be themselves. He works closely with every client to create an enjoyable experience, helping them feel comfortable in front of the camera while documenting moments naturally as they unfold.

Based in London and available throughout the UK and internationally, Charles continues to develop Clovis Picture as a creative studio built on craftsmanship, storytelling and a genuine love of photography and analogue filmmaking.
