3rd generation
History
Charlotte Simpson is a 3rd generation photographer, her grandfather ran a successful portrait studio in New Zealand in 1925 under his own name Edgar Simpson and it thrived until 1936, when the business was moved to London.
His next venture began in 1938 in Chiswick London and later Hounslow, where Anthony Simpson (her father) eventually took over both studios and continued to run successfully until he retired.
Hotshots Dubai has been established since 2007.
That's 90 years of images!

It's not all about getting paid...
Paying it forward...
There is nothing for me personally, more rewarding than providing complimentary photographic coverage to promote setups that are doing a great service to the community. Above is working with the team at RDAD who are always looking for volunteers to assist them with the children they take horse riding, who have special requirements. www.rdad.ae if you think you may like to help their team.
