Charlotte Lai is an up-and-coming lens-based artist creating out of Toronto. Exploring tender themes of domesticity and familiarity within her photography projects, she juxtaposes these comfort-evoking images with the bold energy of shooting musical artists performing live on stage. These two photography styles meet in the middle to result in her studio work, producing editorial images that use unconventional lighting and colour to create something engaging and meaningful. Charlotte prioritizes lighting and tonality in her work, building a portfolio that ranges in content, yet still maintains an underlying commonality that ties it all together. A recent graduate of Toronto Metropolitan University’s Photography program, Charlotte is eager to continue exploring Toronto’s community of creatives.
