SOULFOOD
LONDON
Based in London, Chloe Crewe-Read is one of the three founding Soulfood London members and works as a professional, commercial, portrait, and event photographer. With a background in both traditional and modern methods, Chloe’s flair for photography began in the darkroom at school whilst being able to experiment with different techniques. Her love for creating beautiful images carried on throughout her university years and reading photojournalism at The Arts London University gave her a distinct documentary style which is seen throughout her professional events work today. Capturing a moment is a wonderful thing and as her love for images continues to grow, so too does her desire to share her knowledge of the medium. Whether you are a first timer to photography or an experienced enthusiast, all levels of experience are welcome and Chloe will offer you a chance to improve or learn new skills in a fun, sociable and relaxing atmosphere. She will also guide you through a number of ways to get to grips with your camera, make the most of natural lighting and and create a personal work flow to ensure your photos don’t just stay on your computer at home, but are printed out and enjoyed by everyone!
Another founding member, Charlie's been practicing yoga for 12 years. Initially coming to it from a workout perspective, it fast became something pretty integral to her life after an amazing trip to the Himalayan Institute of Yoga. Keen to share the positive effects that yoga has had on her life, she left her corporate job and qualified in Bali with WLYA (affiliated with the oldest yoga school in the world). She now teaches in top studios in and around London, private tuition and is the go-to yoga instructor for the Harlequins rugby team. Charlie teaches with an emphasis on correct body alignment, whilst maintaining a strong dynamic and creative flow. Her classes are challenging, but at the same time down-to-earth, enjoyable and light-hearted, maintaining her passion of making them accessible to all! Charlie is also an ambassador for Sweaty Betty and Coco Zumi. Her goal is to spread yoga as far and wide as possible, especially amongst those who may not have otherwise found it.
Kate has witnessed the reality of physical and mental illness of close family throughout her life and wanted to create something long-lasting that would help others in a similar situation. She has loved water sports and photography from a very early age. It was later, after university, she developed an intense enthusiasm for yoga and surfing, as a way of escaping the stresses of modern life and working in the corporate world of tech marketing. Her passion for travel has seen her visit over 30 countries, and every continent at least 3 times (except Antarctica - she's not a fan of the cold!), all before the age of 30. She is a strong believer in healthy eating and the profound effect diet has on overall physical and mental health and through Soulfood London, hopes to educate people of the ways they can make small changes to their health, nutrition and overall wellbeing that will make a big difference.
