As you will have seen if you’ve been following my stories, last week I was honoured to be judging
for DANCE LIVE! 2025 in Portsmouth.

, from The Guildhall Trust, facilitates school and college students competing with their unique and personally crafted and choreographed performances – the dance, the choreography, the projection design – all of it is homegrown by these incredible schools and students, and brought together through DANCE LIVE!

Their ethos is to ‘raise aspirations, strengthen health and wellbeing and develop skills for creative career choices’. There are some insane photos of their dances (and costumes!) on their site, definitely check them out 🤙🏼
Megan shout out to .nash for his talent at the front of stage. (Obviously didn’t rock up with a camera for a judging role)👍🏻

As a Creative myself, and with a history in music performance, composition, sound and lighting
design, theatre and dance, it’s really incredible and heartening to see people still inspiring the
Arts in kids and young people today (‘Retrain’, my arse, BoJo). Let’s keep it going!

Big shout out and thank you to Cherry, Hayley,
Savannah and the whole team!
– thank you for having me and it’s been a pleasure to work with you!
Can’t wait for more shows to come and the Finals in March 🏆💃🕺

It’s ‘New Year, New Me’ month, and I’m hearing about so many people pursuing personal goals, whether that’s starting new businesses, quitting smoking, making new friends, increasing their fitness, or spending more time with their kids.

It’s an inspiring month (if you don’t get dragged down by the weather!) and it made me think back to this beautiful chilled yoga class I shot over a year ago.

It’s an understated perk of the job that I get to meet so many people who are passionate and committed to their projects, as my clients will vouch for, I get involved to understand an audience’s perspective.

Don’t believe me?! Ask Bev (or read her testimonial at mike b designs) :-D In my opinion, it helps know when to capture the moments of grit, determination and pride.

If you’ve got a project that’s finding its feet and you want to celebrate your achievement with the world, hit follow and drop me a message – let’s put you on the map! See the other enthusiasts in my portfolio at my website. Link in the bio 😎

As the year wraps up, I wanted to take a moment to reflect on the journey that was 2024. I read Sam Pewsey’s Round Robin yearly sum up and thought that's a cracking idea (so I’ve outright robbed the format, Thanks Sam!). It’s been a year of stepping up, stepping out, and occasionally stepping ...

Live entertainment is an art in itself, and showcasing it through video requires more than just technical skill – it demands empathy, collaboration, and a deep understanding of the performers’ and audience’s needs. (As the night progresses, it can also include first aid and running away from s...

There are few things as satisfying in life as witnessing a deserving person receive an accolade, and Samantha Pewsey’s recent triumph at the Worthing and Adur Business Awards was no exception. Her company, People Finding Consultancy, took home the coveted Start-Up of the Year 2024 award – and ri...

BOOOOM! Project Female landed at the ACCA Arts Centre in Sussex, and we were documenting a day filled with performance, creativity, and community spirit. Project Female isn’t your typical dance group – it’s a youth-led organisation that uses dance as a platform for young people to express them...
