Dance, theatre and performance photography

Dance photography for me started when I was commissioned to photograph the UK Street Dance Championships, photographing many of the well known groups like Diversity and Flawless. Now I photograph stage productions, theatre performances and movie stills.

Working as the official photographer during the Brighton Fringe Festival is great fun. From roadside street performers to cabaret in the Spiegeltent and interactive theatres in peoples gardens.
