Testimonials & Reviews
Moving Parts Theatre Company
Simona Hughes, Director
Jason is an artist - he is never satisfied until he has created the perfect shot. His commitment to projects is exemplary and he will work tirelessly to achieve the best outcomes.
We have worked with him over 3 projects for Moving Parts Theatre Company and the results speak for themselves. He will put in the hours to really get to understand the vision and the nature of each project in order to really capture its essence. He has a strong instinct for what will work and what will excite the viewer. Can't recommend him highly enough.

Rosie Allen, Marketing & Communications Manager
Jason did some fabulous work for us at the Cockpit Theatre in March, and we are looking forward to working with him on other projects over the coming academic years.
He always goes above and beyond, is punctual, reliable and communicative - all of which results in truly brilliant shots of our students' productions.
Highly recommended!
Fourth Monkey
Laura Rutty, Head of Development & Marketing
It has been a genuine delight to work with Jason. He brings an incredible eye and energy to capturing ensemble work and professional productions at Fourth Monkey, reflecting the emotional tone of live performance while showcasing movement, connection and rehearsal process. Our students felt completely at ease in his presence, and his excellent photographs have supported our marketing, archives and student portfolios.
A true professional, with genuine artistry in his work. We would happily recommend him and look forward to working together again.
“Thank you for the brilliant photos you took of our production of Romeo & Juliet”
Corey Campbell, Creative Director, Belgrade Theatre
Filomena Campus
Director — Sex and Mistero Buffo, Riverside Studios
Jason's photography is exceptional. The images he captured during our dress rehearsal at Riverside Studios are beautiful, full of atmosphere, and technically outstanding. He has an extraordinary ability to capture the emotion, movement, and energy of a live performance, while making the lighting, set, and performers look their absolute best. Every photo tells a story and has a poetic, cinematic, emotional quality.
Beyond his talent behind the camera, Jason was a pleasure to work with. From the moment he visited our rehearsals at Drama Studio London, he brought such positive energy and enthusiasm. His thoughtful feedback gave the students a real confidence boost. I would absolutely collaborate with him again and highly recommend him.
Eloka Ivo
Actor, represented by Sequel Management
I’ve worked with Jason across several headshot sessions over the past few years, and each time he has managed to capture something different. His sessions are relaxed, thoughtful and collaborative, and he creates the kind of space where you can actually feel at ease rather than just pose.
The images Jason has taken of me have been used professionally, including by the RSC and National Theatre, and have helped me present different sides of myself as an actor. He understands performers, and his portraits have a rare mix of honesty, character and polish.
I trust him completely and would recommend him to any actor looking for headshots or portraits with real depth.
Joanna Nevin
Producer – Northanger Abbey, Moving Parts Theatre Company
As a growing theatre company, Jason’s work has become such a key element in communicating our creative vision. He has an exceptional ability to capture the energy, playfulness, commitment and joy, which we, as a company, hope to express in our work.
As a director of Moving Parts Theatre Company, it makes me very happy to have Jason’s images, both to spread the word about our shows (and the quality of our marketing content is always much admired by venues we work with), and as a way of preserving our work for the future.
Jason has been working with us since we started and we very much hope to continue to work with him as our theatre company grows.
Vanity Fair Case Study
For Moving Parts Theatre Company’s touring adaptation of Vanity Fair, Jason created a complete visual package covering promotional photography, rehearsal imagery, production stills and a social-media trailer that became a key promotional asset for the company. He also filmed the final performance, creating a lasting record of the production.
“I cried looking through The Little Prince production shots as they beautifully captured the show and the actors.”
