Ceilidhs to conferences

Balls, awards, launches and receptions. The riotous ones and the formal ones get the same attention to detail, and nobody gets photographed mid-mouthful.

How I work

A silent shutter for live performance, rehearsals and film sets. I can shoot the show itself without the audience or cast hearing a thing.

I travel by public transport or a zero-emission vehicle, and edit on 100% renewable electricity.

Press selects and full galleries delivered to a private client gallery, sized for print, web and social.
