Performance Photography

​

As a sideline to wildlife photography, I worked as a freelance theatre and events photographer in Edinburgh from 2009-2015.

In many ways I see those theatre days as crucial formative moments in my approach to photographing animals and capturing light.

 

During coverage of the Edinburgh International and Fringe Festivals, I had unique backstage access to the world's most prestigious

performance arts companies - from the National Ballet of China to the Mariinsky Opera.

​

My performance photos have been published in national and worldwide press, including:  

​

THE GUARDIAN â—† THE TIMES â—† NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC  â—† MAIL ONLINE â—† THE IRISH TIMES

EDINBURGH EVENING NEWS â—† THE STAGE â—† THREEWEEKS UNLIMITED MEDIA 

​

Below is a small selection of images published during that time, which I am in the process of updating.

​

I can also take on headshot photography commissions for actors and artists. In the past I have photographed Neil Gaiman, Rupert Everett and Salman Rushdie, among others. For headshot photographs and pricing to suit your requirements, please visit my Headshot page
