Carole Edrich

A prize winning photographer who exhibits regularly, I contribute to dance magazines, in particular Dance Today every month. My images which are available for private purchase, have been used in adverts, on exhibition stands, as magazine front covers, in academic publications, the popular press and in a film short by Mike Figgis, who singled my work out as exceptional over the winners of a 26-nation photography competition. I was the first (and probably the only) person to be invited into a G20 conference as photo blogger and the first European and first woman ever to be invited to photograph the largest Aboriginal Australian dance festival in the world.

A strong sense of empathy, surviving the Asian Tsunami, having run a successful risk management consultancy which had clients in the Twin Towers and surviving aggressive breast cancer all inform my work and really can't imagine that working in any other job could be so much fun.
