Production Photography

For theatre, dance, musicals, concerts and all live performance

Daniel Boud is one of Australia's leading production photographers, capturing theatre, musical theatre, opera and dance in performance. Production stills are the images that sell seasons — used by marketing, publicity and press — and they have to be made live, in a single run, with no second takes.

His production credits include Hamilton and MJ The Musical for Michael Cassel Group, The Phantom of the Opera for Handa Opera on Sydney Harbour, Dracula starring Cynthia Erivo at London's Noël Coward Theatre, The Sleeping Beauty for The Australian Ballet, and seasons for Sydney Theatre Company, Belvoir, Opera Australia, Sydney Dance Company and Bangarra Dance Theatre.

Shooting production work means reading a show like a musician reads a score: anticipating the lighting states, knowing where the moment will land, and working silently around a live performance. Daniel delivers press-ready, retouched selects on the fast turnarounds that opening nights demand.

Available for production photography in Sydney, across Australia and internationally — including West End and touring productions.
