Alastair Muir is one of the UK’s leading photographers specialising in the performing arts. Following a Fine Arts degree, his early work was in the features department of The Evening Standard, and this inside knowledge of what the media demands from a published image has shaped his subsequent freelance career. In the past 20 years he has remained one of only a handful of photographers whose images are consistently used by the media to accompany features and reviews. He is also in demand as a commissioned photographer for West End productions, opera, ballet and outdoor festivals.
