It is SO incredibly wonderful to be out photographing the things I couldn’t shoot throughout the lockdown. It is also SO nice to be meeting up with familiar faces again. Theatre work is a love and a passion so it was exciting to be able to get my camera gear ready for some rehearsal photography.

Theatre promotional shoot at the Lucky 7 club in Paignton
I love how photo-shoots can end up in the coolest of places. The Lucky 7 club has to be in a top spot as a cool location for a musical production photo-shoot.
