The Seagull — Promo Poster Shoot
I had the pleasure of doing makeup for Caroline Quentin for the promotional shoot for The Seagull at the @lyceumtheatre, Edinburgh.

The 12th Man
I had the pleasure of working on the set of the Norwegian film ‘The 12th Man’ when they landed in North Berwick to film a major scene.
