“Simon would always get the shots you'd wanted - and surprise you with even better ones. At the Lyric he was always the photographer I'd call first.”

“Simon spends more time than any other photographer I know getting under the skin of the production. It shows in his results: catching the fleeting moments that define a production and that will guarantee to get your show extra coverage.”

“Photographers in a rehearsal room can change the energy or invade the process, but Simon is a brilliant rehearsal photographer because he understands and respects the process utterly. Actors are comfortable doing intense emotional improvisations with Simon clicking away. He's an integral part of the creative team. This is highly unusual in my experience.”

“Simon's all-round understanding of the process of theatre-making, as well as his confident, amiable, yet entirely unobtrusive manner allow even inexperienced actors to trust him instantly. The resulting shots are arresting, perceptive, incredibly frank, often moving and very beautiful.”
