Roswitha Chesher
Affiliate Photographer
As a photographer based in London and working across the South-East and wider UK, Roswitha has had the wonderful opportunity to document a diverse mix of contributors and artists. Her work captures people of all ages and abilities, from elders and juniors to professionals in the arts, musicians, dancers and creatives.
She takes time to look, watch and give contributors space, often working unobtrusively or joining in where appropriate to help people feel comfortable and valued. For Ros, a photograph is a collaboration: a quiet, tender moment can shout out loud in an image; a loud scream can offer an opportunity for reflection.
Originally trained as a dancer and choreographer, she brings this knowledge to her photography, working across the arts as both an artist and a documenter. Her clients include New Adventures, Protein Dance, Entelechy Arts, Fun Palaces, The Posh Club, Dance East and English National Ballet. Her photography and video work represent artists, individuals and organisations online and in print.

When you capture the arts in an image, it can say so much more than a sentence on a page, giving the viewer a chance to understand and appreciate. It allows a wider audience to be let in, to see the value and importance of these activities.
It’s a privilege and a joy to help share these moments. I also love when contributors get to see themselves in images, and the joy, recognition and self-belief this can bring.
