Theatre

Photography

Theatre photography is about much more than simply recording what happens on stage—it’s about capturing the emotion, atmosphere, and storytelling that define a performance. I specialise in working with theatre companies, schools, and production teams to create dynamic imagery that reflects the drama, creativity, and collaboration of live theatre. From rehearsals and dress runs to polished stage productions, I deliver theatre photography that feels authentic and engaging, helping to promote your show and preserve its magic.

PR Theatre photography

Striking imagery is essential for PR, whether it’s a press call, a promotional shoot, or a PR stunt designed to grab attention. My theatre photography for PR is designed to stand out, helping productions connect with audiences before the first performance even begins.

Capturing the Magic On and Off Stage

For me, theatre photography isn’t just about what happens under the lights—it’s about the full story. The dedication in the rehearsal room, the laughter backstage, and the quiet focus in the wings all play a part in bringing a production together. Backstage photography and rehearsal photography give me the chance to capture the unseen moments that audiences never experience but are so vital to the world of performance.

I’m equally comfortable photographing a dress rehearsal, a high-energy stand-up show, or promotional portraits for a programme. Each shoot is approached with creativity and flexibility, ensuring that the images capture the true spirit of your production.
