"You’re an artist, you’ve got an amazing eye for what makes a good shot.  You’re passionate about theatre, and that translates into you being able to take the most generous and supportive images of a show.  They’re very dramatic, very theatrical, I always feel like you got [the shot].  There’s an empathy, an emotional intelligence around the photography and they’re very stylish."
