Hi, I'm Chloe, the C behind C10 Photography!
Hey look Mum, I'm on the telly! Well... close enough. Anyway, that's me, Miss C10. On the left. With my 12-year-old Irish Sport Horse - Black Jack VII (Shot taken by Jamie Agnew Photography) When I'm not out shooting or editing I'm competing up and down the country with our showjumping team!
Having graduated with an A Grade Higher National Diploma from The City of Glasgow College in 2022, and at the age of 20 I decided to venture into the big bad world following my passion in Photography and build a business. Many people advised me to niche down and pick one genre to specialise in. However, I love variety and decided to stay a "Jack of all trades" and having stayed true to that I can wholeheartedly say I've loved every minute with the people I have had the pleasure of working with so far. Funnily enough, the feeling is mutual (Woohoo!) and many of this brilliant bunch have come back, trusted me with other projects / life events and left lovely reviews. Someone who features on my homepage slideshow is my business coach, Angela McKillop, she not only introduced me to corporate photography in asking me to shoot for her, but began coaching me on how to build and operate a successful business at the age of 20.
What I most enjoy about running my business the way I do is Client relationships (and hey since I'm only 22 you'll have plenty of time to get to know me).
A first shoot may start as a 70th, then there's a little one born, so I'm back for baby photos, kids go back to school - quick! Get photos before there's no knees left in the trousers - Chloe, are you free?! Then it's a whole family shoot before the older brother becomes a teenager, oh and now its almost Christmas so the mini-shoot date is due to be launched, Óh I'll see them there. New Year Party in the works? Count me in! And there you go, a whole year of working together! That is exactly what I was aiming for when I started C10, the more I know about you, the more I know what matters and project by project the shots become more and more, well... you!
A major influence in my work has been my mentor and close friend Mr Kevin Wylie of KSG Photography, a Multi-Award Winning Master Photographer. So yeah, he's pretty good too I guess! No, in all seriousness this man has taught me more about photography than anyone will ever learn on a course (Unless you attend his workshops - absolutely phenomenal) and for that I am incredibly grateful. He's taken me under his wing and let me shadow, second shoot and assist at multiple weddings, proms and studio shoots over the last 3 years. Check him out too, his socials are below.

"What's one thing I should know about C10?"
If you haven't guessed yet, I'm all about fun! Your most authentic cheeser is 100% when you are relaxed and having fun. I'm actually quite camera shy myself (Unless I have my trusty steed with me) so you being confident and comfortable in front of my camera is my number one priority.
helping out my fellow college students
When I was studying, both Higher Photography at School and my HND at college, we had to write about other photographers, their influences, studies, kit etc. It was an absolute nightmare to find half of that info so I always said when i made a website I'd make it easier for anyone who finds me. So if by chance you happen to come across me, here's a helping hand!
Basic Kit Currently
Bodies - Fujifilm X-T3 / XH1
Lenses - Portraiture Fuji 27mm 2.8 pancake lens or Viltrox 56mm 1.8 for nice bokeh, occasionally Fuji18-55mm 2.8-4.0. Other lenses Fuji 55-200 for sporting (horses) and Viltrox 13mm for Estate Photography
