Photographer and archive. Offshore and financial investigations. Co-founder of Partisan.
I'm Charles Pycraft. From 1999 to 2014 I worked as a London press and paparazzi photographer for national newspapers and magazines, and that archive is now licensed through Backgrid. Since 2017 I've supported and followed OffshoreAlert's work and attended its conferences, and I work on offshore and financial investigations. I'm also co-founder of Partisan, which helps law firms and investigation teams show that documents are complete and unchanged.
Those years taught me how stories form and how coverage develops. I now put that to work in research, due diligence and communications advice for clients.
Pictures and stories from my years as a London press and paparazzi photographer, 1999 to 2014.
Offshore finance, asset recovery and the paper trails behind them.
Partisan keeps verifiable records of documents, so law firms and investigation teams can later prove a file existed on a given date and has not changed.
