Hello! Welcome to my page – this is an ongoing collection of my theatre, dance, event and travel photography. I’m a photographer based in south west London and have photographed for arts organisations including The International Youth Arts Festival and The Pleasance. If you are looking for a photographer for your performance, event or rehearsals or even family photos, I’d love to hear from you!

I have worked in the arts for the past seven years, and have good understanding of a theatre’s rehearsal, production and marketing processes. I love capturing the energy, drama, movement, life and emotion of theatre, and aim to produce images that are striking and usable. I like to inspire confidence in those who hire me, I am hard working, listens and delivers carefully on brief, and am adaptable to the changing world of a rehearsal, event or performance.

In more general, I am detail focused, and love candid, gentle, at ease moments. I love photos that tell a story, are fun, clever and show connection and emotion, with a cinematic theatrical edge. The kind of photos you have to frame.
