You built the world

Now let me show you inside it

You bring it to life:

The lighting
The props
The way the table curves or the florals fall or the cables stay hidden in plain sight

The photographer gets the shot
The client gets the gallery
The audience gets the glow

But what about you?

This is a behind-the-scenes session for the ones who hold the atmosphere together - and rarely get photos to prove it
Not staged
Not stop-and-smile
Just you, in your element, while the thing you’ve built unfolds

  • Inside the Royal Albert Hall. Red velvet seats and ornate balcony railings, a stage crew member with a headset and microphone sits at a control desk with a laptop, surrounded by technical equipment, with a large spotlight directed towards the stage.
  • Musical equipment on stage, including guitar, amplifiers, cables, and a microphone, in an empty auditorium at the Royal Albert Hall with red seats.

What You’ll Receive:

  • A focused BTS stills session during your styled shoot, gig, or production setup

  • Coverage of your process, presence, and team in action

  • A curated gallery that documents the world you built - not just the outcome

Built For:

  • Workshop and styled shoot hosts

  • Production teams for gigs + stage shows

  • Prop-makers and stylists

  • Set and lighting crews who shape the scene

I move like part of the crew, not a distraction.

No posing. No pressure. Just quiet, observational stills of your craft in motion.

No booking button.
No funnel.
Just a conversation.
