Charlotte McGuinness is a photographer, storyteller, and creative, born and raised by the sea in Lowestoft. Charlotte has spent a decade working as an actor and has travelled the world as an international model. Now working behind the camera, Charlotte captures the people and places that make East Anglia unique.<\/p>\n

Charlotte’s residency focused on capturing stories from Lowestoft. To mark the 50th anniversary of the current library building opening in 1975, Lowestoft Library selected Charlotte to capture human stories through her camera lens in 2025.<\/p>\n

Lowestoft 50: Illuminating Portraits<\/em> celebrates the richness, resilience and diversity of people in the town, and draws attention to soulful spaces in Lowestoft and surrounding areas.<\/p>\n

As well as having their photos taken, contributors also had the option to lend their voice to the project by recording audio bites that were woven into in a longform soundscape to accompany the collection.<\/p>\n

The collection launched First Light Festival 2025 in Lowestoft. You can view Charlotte’s full collection<\/a> of photographs taken throughout the project online on her website.<\/p>\n
