Theatre & Dance Photography.

Studio Cano has spent years photographing live performance for some of Wales' most respected arts institutions, including National Dance Company Wales, Sherman Theatre, National Theatre Wales, Nation Cymru and the Royal Welsh College of Music & Drama.

Theatre photography demands a different skill set to standard commercial work: low light, fast movement, no second takes, and the need to capture the emotional peak of a scene in a fraction of a second. We work closely with directors, producers and marketing teams to deliver production photography that captures the show's atmosphere accurately — for programmes, press releases, archive records and marketing campaigns.

What we cover:

- Production and dress rehearsal photography

- Dance and movement photography

- Archive and press-kit imagery

- Marketing and poster photography

- Behind-the-scenes and rehearsal documentation

Our process: We liaise with your production team ahead of time to understand key scenes, lighting cues and any restrictions (flash-free shooting, fixed vantage points, etc.), then deliver a fast-turnaround edited gallery ready for press and marketing use.

Based in Cardiff, we work with venues and companies across Wales and the wider UK.
