She studied at the Hamburger Kunstschule from 1950 to 1954, which was followed by a teaching position at the School of Fashion in Hamburg. It was only then, when Charlotte March decided to work as a professional photographer. Her works are therefore deeply influenced by her experiences of the fashion world. March took part in the first two world exhibitions of photography and received an award by the New York ‘Twen’ magazine.
