Dublin Based Photographer
Lovely poster for The Glasshouse – always love seeing my photos in poster form. Always interesting to see what graphic designers get up to!

Working and collaborating with creatives is one of the privileges and joys of dance photography. So it was wonderful to work with Lauren Speirs, a choreographer based in Dublin, from Balletproject[d]. In October 2019 Balletproject[d] performed ‘Grey Matter’ comprising 2 pieces ‘Rational Creatures’ and ‘Ensnared’ in the historic Smock Alley Theatre, Dublin, Ireland. A mix of classical and contemporary dance with a very talented group of international dancers, the Irish audience was in for a treat! Such a bonus to support an all-female team of creatives too! I look forward to their next performances.

I had the pleasure of once again being in the studio with Laura Macken Dance and her ensemble of talented Irish and international dance artists – Eoin Padraig MacDonnacha, Kate Haughton, Rebecca Lee, Yuilya Prokhorova, Fanni Esterhazy, Pablo von Sternenfels, Anibal dos Santos and Gabriella Basco.
Both pieces, ‘Connections’ and ‘Lift’ are a real visual treat to capture and so diverse in style.
It is really wonderful to see ballet being supported by The Arts Council Ireland and great that a female Irish choreographer is at the helm.
The week ended with a packed studio performance in St. Catherine’s Sports Centre and the exciting news that both pieces will be performed in Projects Arts Centre in November. Well done everyone!
