Amber Charlton
Born and raised in East London, I’m graduating from Glasgow School of Art with a degree in Lens-Based Communication Design. My practice centres on photography and moving image, with a consistent focus on people. From the two women who started a queer football club, to a Glasgow DJ, to my mum, I’m drawn to personal narratives and use the camera as a tool to document and retell these stories. My main project this year explored my mum’s work as a furniture maker, reflecting on themes of motherhood, creative lineage, and balancing work with raising children. I work across digital and film, though recently I’ve been drawn to medium format photography for its slower, more intentional process - a welcome counterpoint to the fast pace of contemporary life.
