Frequently Asked Questions

 

 

Where in the country do you work?

 

I work all over the UK and I’m based in the North West.

 

How long have you been photographing theatre and live performance?

 

I worked in theatre for 20 years before becoming a full time photographer. I’ve been photographing theatre and live performance for the past 18 years.

Having working in theatre as a Stage Manager for a lot of my professional life I like to think I understand the pressures on actors and production staff so I can try NOT to add to that when stepping into a rehearsal room.

I understand theatre and that experience is invaluable when photographing shows I haven’t seen before - anticipating the moment to get the photograph.

 

What do I get?

 

I deliver full resolution and web sized digital files of my photography. Depending on the length of the performance I’ll deliver anything from 50-150 photographs, always with a mind on what will be useful to promote the show now and what will be useful in the future to promote the theatre.

 

How long till I get the photos?

 

I’m often photographing the final Dress Rehearsal so turnaround times have to be fast in order to get images for social media and reviews.

I get photos across to you by lunch the following day.

 

Do you photograph rehearsals as well as the performance?

 

Absolutely - if that’s what you need I do a package to include both.

 

How are photographs delivered to me?

 However suits you. My usual deliver method is through an online gallery (makes it very easy to view) or WeTransfer.
