Happy Birthday to the living legend that is Sir David Attenborough. This was taken the first time I photographed him around 2009 when he introduced the large blue onto a somerset hillside. The butterfly had been kept in a cool box and the warmth of his cupped hands was used to bring it back to life before it flew off. #attenborough #birthdayboy

This is always my favourite event of the year. It was an early start at Ham Hill (5.15) but worth it watch the wonderful Wyvern Jubilee Morris , Enigma Border Morris and Treacle Eater Clog dance and welcome in the Summer. #beltane #mayday

Happy International Dance Day! ✨ Dance has never been just a day for me, it’s been my entire world. It’s taken me across the UK and throughout Europe, opened doors to work with renowned artists, directors, and teachers from around the globe, and given me the honour of performing alongside some truly iconic names, including knights of the realm. I’ve had the privilege of dancing the great classical ballets, growing from corps through to principal, and even having new works created on me. Experiences I’ll never take for granted. Along the way, I’ve also been able to share my passion through teaching, working with everyone from complete beginners to seasoned professionals, and even stepping into role of ballet mistress for international stars. What means the most to me now is bringing everything I’ve learned back home. Passing on that level of professional knowledge, insight, and real-world experience to the next generation, especially in a place where those opportunities didn’t exist when I was starting out, feels incredibly special. I don’t just teach steps. I teach the artistry, techniques and the journey behind them, and I couldn’t be prouder to keep that legacy moving forward. 🩰 Photo taken by @snapperlen from our on going project documenting @octagonyeovil history and refresh. A place that inspired my dance journey! #ballerina #internationaldanceday #theatre #dancephotography #dance

A destination without its path…✈️💭 More often than not, our creative team finds themselves devising a show’s title and identity, before the show even exists… Typically for others, this is the puzzle piece that comes last, after a full show has been created. It’s so important to get this step right, because it sets the tone for the entire production, even if some of it doesn’t exist yet. 📝 We work with an incredible team to achieve each show’s own personality. We create mood boards, colour palettes and typography inspiration until we begin to carve a world that feels right…🎨🖌️ We love working with collaborators who understand our work, and care as much about getting it right as we do. Together, we work to push and challenge even what we think it capable. Developing the artwork for Things I’ve Never Said was no different. Even though this part of the process can be stressful, working with a true dream team makes it all the better.🩵 📝 @ghostlightstudios_ 🏠 @rawpicsstudio 📸 @snapperlen ✍️ @jamesbamford_ and @gracetnoelle #ThingsIveNeverSaid

Before the holidays, I stepped into a place frozen in time. Not at its best, but still filled with the magic that started everything. Walking those corridors felt like finding my younger self and whispering, “we did it.” ✨🩰 Thank you @snapperlen and @octagonyeovil for the opportunity and look forward to continuing this project. Thank you @justballetuk for the most beautiful tutu! 👗 #ballet #balletdancer #balletphotography #memories #dancephotography
