Photography service

Theatre and performing arts photography

Theatre photography needs to communicate story, expression and staging while respecting the concentration of the performers and creative team. I photograph productions, rehearsals, workshops and promotional activity in the performing arts.

Coverage can document a complete performance or concentrate on the images needed to promote a production, company, venue or future programme.

Productions and rehearsals

Performances, technical rehearsals and behind-the-scenes moments captured with minimal disruption.

Promotional imagery

Cast, company and production photographs suitable for programmes, press, websites and social promotion.

Workshops and community arts

Documentary coverage that shows participation, process and the character of the project.

Frequently asked questions

Can you photograph a dress or technical rehearsal?

Yes. Rehearsals often provide useful access and the opportunity to cover important scenes without affecting a public performance.

Can the images support press and promotion?

Yes. Let me know the intended channels and deadlines so the required compositions and formats can be considered before the shoot.

Do you cover dance-led productions too?

Yes. Movement-led stage work is welcome, and the separate dance portfolio contains additional examples from live dance events.
