About Me

Shane Zaza, Tim Treloar and Barry McCarthy in 'Realism' at the Soho Theatre

I am a theatre photographer based in London. Since 2007, I have created rehearsal, production and publicity photos for over ninety shows by companies including the Lyric Hammersmith, the Soho Theatre, the Royal Court Theatre, the Gate Theatre, Shakespeare's Globe, the Royal Shakespeare Company, Donmar Warehouse, Headlong, Wrestling School, Filter and Soho Rep (New York). My photographs regularly appear in national newspapers (including the Guardian,Sheila Hancock in 'The Birthday Party' at the Lyric Hammersmith Times, Telegraph and Independent), local London publications (including the Evening Standard and Time Out) and in several foreign publications and websites (including a multi-media slideshow on the New York Times website featuring my work on Soho Rep's “Blasted”).

As well as my photography work, I have overseen playwright Sarah Kane's literary estate since her death in 1999. Spending a lot of time in rehearsal rooms as an active participant working on my sister's plays has given me distinct advantages when it comes to working in a rehearsal room as a photographer - but don't take my word for it, read what my clients say about me or take a look at a selection of my work.
