About

Born in London and initially trained as a dancer, my interest in photography started early and continued throughout my time in the theatre.

A Praktica MTL3 given to me by my parents when I was 12 began a lifelong obsession in photography.

I studied at the Arts Educational School and The Royal Ballet School, and joined Sadlers Wells Royal Ballet in 1988.

For the next 15 years I danced with Sadlers Wells / The Birmingham Royal Ballet, was promoted to Senior Soloist and toured the UK and abroad extensively.

My passion in photography grew further when I created a darkroom and discovered the pleasure of developing and printing my own images.

It was only when digital technology finally began to approach the quality of film-based systems that I considered the possibility of a career in photography.

With the help of Dancers Career Development I was able to setup as a Dance and Theatre Photographer and have never looked back.

Dance and Theatre Photography continues to be an ideal field for me to work in, as it fulfills my love of photography and technology, satisfies my need for creativity whilst utilising my experience and knowledge of dance and theatre.
