Sarah Walker (Photographer-in-residence) is a Melbourne-based theatre photographer and videographer, specialising in the independent theatre scene. She’s worked at festivals across the country, travelled to monsoon-lashed Manila to shoot a play in a swimming pool, covered actors in all manner of ridiculous substances (water, milk, fake blood, gold leaf, poster paint, icing sugar, bondage gear and chickens, to name but a few) and walked into a lot of walls because she was too busy looking through the viewfinder to notice that the rest of the world existed. She is also photographer in residence for MKA, Polyglot, AtticErratic, Barking Spider Visual Theatre and Quiet Little Fox, and has recently worked with fancy people at Next Wave Festival, Melbourne Festival, Melbourne Theatre Company and Chunky Move. www.sarahwalkerphotos.com
