Kirsten McTernan is one of the most skilled events photographers in the UK. Her images are consistently imaginative, sharp, well-composed and coloured with a bright modern palette. She is a pleasure to have at any event, and moves around so discreetly and respectfully that everyone forgets they’re being photographed - even with young people. We’re all delighted to recommend her!
Evan Dawson - CEO of National Youth Arts Wales and Former CEO of The Royal Photographic Society
I've been lucky that Kirsten has photographed a number of shows I've directed and every time, she has created utterly stunning images which always capture the life, vitality, theatricality and beauty of live performance. Her images are amongst my most favourite production shots ever and she's always my first choice of photographer. She brings such warmth into the room and is a pleasure to have around. I can't recommend her highly enough.
Amy Leach - Deputy Artistic Director for Leeds Playhouse
"We have worked with Kirsten for a number of years for a range of projects – and she understood the Company’s vision from the off - from performance images in dark studios with fast movement, to bright, airy outdoor headshots and participatory activity in all sorts of places. Capturing dance is not an easy skill – and Kirsten’s ability to do this quickly and efficiently is excellent.
Kirsten is warm, approachable and skilled; and is especially good with those nervous to be photographed – during headshots for example, she puts everyone at ease to create warm and open images.
We particularly love Kirsten’s ability to capture people and experience – her images are bright, joyous and full of life – really capturing the energy of moments"
