Behind the work.

Studio Charlie Bennet is a New York–based creative studio founded by Swedish photographer, director and cinematographer Charlie Bennet. Before turning to film and photography, Charlie spent more than a decade in advertising as a strategic brand and account director, working on international and Scandinavian campaigns. That experience still shapes his approach today—with an understanding that strong imagery needs to do more than look good. It needs to communicate an idea.

​

Since 2009, Charlie has worked across photography and film for brands, agencies, publications and organizations in the U.S. and internationally. His work combines a Scandinavian visual sensibility with a cinematic approach to light, composition and storytelling, with an emphasis on authenticity and the moments that happen naturally in front of the camera.

 

Today, Studio Charlie Bennet brings the different parts of a production together—from film and photography to production and post. With a trusted network of producers, stylists, editors and other creative talent, we build the right team around each project and carry it through from idea to final delivery.

A SWEDISH POINT OF VIEW. BASED IN NEW YORK.

Charlie grew up in Stockholm and has called New York City home for many years. Both places continue to shape the work—the restraint and simplicity of Scandinavia alongside the energy, diversity and constant visual inspiration of New York.
