Emma Louise Charalambous (b.1991) is a freelance photographer whose distinct style, both in her commercial and her personal work, offers a vibrancy and depth that reflects her personality.
After having her first self-published photobook “Bloodhound” exhibited at AMBIKA P3 Gallery London (2014) and later at the IAPT Photobook Exhibition in Nicosia (2018), more recently, in 2023 she partook in the Divine Duality group exhibition at Gallery 45 (Limassol), where she exhibited pieces from her long-term project “What’s Up With the Sky?”. Her inaugural solo exhibition ‘Amensalism’ took place in October 2024 at Diatopos Gallery Nicosia - a two part exhibition where she presented the environmental project ‘What’s Up With the Sky?’, alongside an introduction to a new body of work that touches upon the themes of space and censorship.
For over a decade working as a freelance photographer, Emma’s commercial work with local and international clients spans across various industries, currently focusing on product photography and content creation. Although she boasts a dynamic roster of clients, the rounded experience has ignited a particular interest in her approach, vision and experience in the commercial market. Her more characteristic commissioned productions, comprise photographic coverage for most major cultural events on the island.
Emma proudly presents a portfolio that translates her artistic values while working within different industry sectors. She makes an effort to collaborate with local and ethically conscious clients, though her work is not limited to it. Her personal ethos is best represented in her collections of professional highlights and photo-journalistic projects where she aims to empower awareness through her medium.
