Charlie Richards (born 11 May 1978) is an English photographer.

Charlie Richards was born in Kingston upon Thames, Surrey.

Inspired by the National Geographic magazines of the 1980's Richards developed a love of natural history, and this led him to read Biology and Geography at the University of Bristol. After traveling he worked for PricewaterhouseCoopers in London primarily to pay off student debts and after two years began a Masters in Biological Photography and Imaging at the University of Nottingham, which led to his career in photography.

In 2003 he became a photographic assistant to Alan Newnham and a year later assisted a range of photographers on a freelance basis. In 2005 Richards stopped assisting and pursued his professional photography career and today shoots for a range of editorial and commercial clients.

Charlie Richards is brother of Tom Richards
