Anna has photographed our festival for us for the past couple of years and, despite the challenges of a global pandemic and the lack of a physical event, she has produced the most wonderful, unique, dynamic and creative bank of images for us. Under difficult circumstances with social distancing in place, Anna spent a couple of days capturing our filming sessions, working closely with professional artists and a team of visual and audio engineers.
We wanted to document the excitement of the two days, and visually show our audiences what it involved to put on a virtual festival. Anna’s imagination and ability to see images that nobody else knew existed, is incredible. It has resulted in quirky, characterful and spontaneous photos that we are completely delighted to have, and have used extensively across our website, on social media platforms, and in print.
We love working with Anna. She is practical, enthusiastic, hugely creative, 100% reliable, and respects everybody she works with, at all levels. I think the ability to go ‘unnoticed’ when snapping such close and personal shots of artists, is an amazing skill. Anna can do just that.
