WHAT DO I DO?

REBECCA IS a fine-art photographer shooting multiple disciplines for clients big and small, including the BBC, Penguin Publishing, Channel 4 Box Plus and Soho Theatre, New Diorama and Kiln Theatre to name but a few. Over the past 10 years she's made a career out of balancing her two greatest passions in life; photography (@bekor_) and music (@anavaemusic)
My love of photography began in my teens, while on trips around Europe with my Dad. We would set off with no particular destination in mind and he would stop when a beautiful sight captured his attention and therefore the focus of his camera. With no distractions, pointing, shooting and experimenting entertained me for weeks.
I quickly swapped landscapes for faces, finding nothing more interesting than bringing out the best in a person and finding the most intriguing look in their eye.
I love the very unique interaction that takes place between a photographer and a subject. There's a kind of crash course in how to sink into the company of another person as quickly as possible. Connecting with people has always been one of the drivers of my creativity.
I love the multi-faceted nature of my client work. Skipping between Edinburgh Fringe posters, to album covers, from theatre productions, to porn.
