Production & PERFORMANCE PHOTOS


Production photos are a powerful tool to engage and excite audiences before, during, and after your production. They don’t just capture what happens on stage, they communicate the essence of a show to potential audiences, helping to drive ticket sales. Beyond promotion, great photos also provide a lasting record of the company’s creative vision, support future funding applications and celebrate the hard work of the entire creative team.

My approach to theatre photography typically involves capturing the dress rehearsal, allowing me the flexibility to navigate the space for optimal shots. Before the shoot we will have a chat about your production; the venue, staging, lighting as well as how you want your photos to look and feel. I make sure I’m fully prepared before stepping into the theatre, this allows me to capture the best possible images.

REHEARSAL & WORKSHOP PHOTOS


Rehearsal and workshop photos can be used to create engaging content for your production’s website, marketing materials, social media and other promotional channels. They give a rare behind-the-scenes look at your creative process, help to build a personal connection with your audience, attract new audiences and generate anticipation and excitement for upcoming performances.

I can join you at any stage, from early table reads and devising workshops to technical and dress rehearsals in the theatre. These photos aren’t about polished performances, they’re about the journey; the creative process, collaboration, and the personalities of the actors as they shape their characters. Whether it’s taking notes from the director, a quiet moment of reflection or a burst of laughter, my aim is to capture your creative process, the real moments where your show starts to come to life.

YOUTH THEATRE & Stage Schools


Putting on a youth theatre production takes incredible effort, creativity, and time. For the young cast, it’s a chance to shine and share their talent. For families, it’s a proud moment to remember forever. My photography is all about capturing these experiences, from the energy of rehearsals to the magic of opening night.

After the show, you’ll receive an online gallery filled with images that showcase the hard work, excitement and joy of the performers. Families can easily purchase prints or digital downloads, creating lasting keepsakes to treasure for years to come. My goal is to create photographs that not only capture the production beautifully, but also celebrate the milestones and memories that mean so much to the young performers and their families.
