“…she has great sensitivity and involvement with her subjects” – Mark Rowan Hull, Creative Arts Fellow at Wolfson College Oxford.
Every event, occasion or performance is unique.
What is it that makes a truly great photograph of a conductor, soloist or orchestra?
I believe it is one which captures the very essence of the performance.
“When I work, I am invisible.
My role is to capture, not disturb.”
My name is Sisi, and I have been a performing arts photographer for 30 years.
I completed the HND Documentary Photography course at Newport in 1994 and have since worked with countless orchestras, arts organisations and musicians covering concerts and doing portraits. Every summer I am one of the official photographers at the BBC Proms! You can see some of my press coverage here https://sisiburn.com/press-photos-bbc-proms-2023/
I also qualified as a Transpersonal Arts Counsellor at Tobias School of Art & Therapy in 2018. I now combine my photography work with working in mental health settings using a variety of art media including photography. You can see more about Photo Therapy and Therapeutic Photography here
Your passion for music is my passion.
Your artistry is my inspiration.
The emotion of your performance is the soul of my photograph.
