Charlotte Rush-Bailey has been on virtually all my recent photo expeditions-workshops, and has recently had two photographs made during these trips nominated in the Black & White Spider Awards' People Category .

The first top photographs was made at a Vedic school during The Oracles of Kerala Photo Expedition/Workshop, while the lower top photograph was made during the In Search of Sufis of Gujarat Expedition/Workshop at the Mira Datar Sufi shrine.

The lower photograph of the elephant was made in February 2013 and was awarded a Honorable Mention in the Wildlife Category. Charlotte is a keen proponent of protecting elephants, and had dedicated a website Elephants Forever to discourage consumers from buying ivory.

Charlotte is a photographer who migrated to the world of photography from a corporate career that covered three decades of marketing and communications positions in a variety of global industries including energy, financial services, media, conservation, technology and professional services. This gave her opportunities to work with people all over the world, and to learn to appreciate cultural nuances and the influences of socio-political forces.
