Rita Martin

Charles' studio was called "The Nook", 1 Titchfield Road, Regent's Park, London.

[6] She was inspired by Alice Hughes; other pioneer women photographers of her time are: Christina Broom, Kate Pragnell and Lizzie Caswall Smith.

[7] Talking about her, Cecil Beaton said: "Rita Martin, and the pale terracotta loveliness of her photographs are part and parcel of this period.

Rita Martin and her sister, Lallie Charles, the rival photographer, posed their sitters in a soft conservatory-looking light, making all hair deliriously blonde".

[8] A 1910 review by The Strand Magazine said "Rita Martin deserves to be singled out for praise.
