In 2025, English National Ballet commissioned me to photograph the key art for five of their productions across its 2025/26 season: R:Evolution, Body & Soul, The Sleeping Beauty, Nutcracker, and the tenth-anniversary production of Giselle.

The work was created in collaboration with EDIT Brand Studio as English National Ballet also introduced its refreshed visual identity. Each production needed to feel distinct while belonging to the same season: imagery that felt human, contemporary and emotionally led, while retaining the physicality and precision of ballet.

Working with dancers including Emma Hawes, Swanice Luong, Lorenzo Trossello, Rentaro Nakaaki, Anna Nevzorova and Emily Suzuki, I approached the commission through a mixture of dance photography and character-led portraiture, creating a series of images built around the individual mood and identity of each production.
