DITA VON TEESE: NOCTURNELLE @ O2 APOLLO, MANCHESTER
My first show of 2026 was celebrated in grand style. It was my second time photographing Dita Von Teese in Manchester, and I shot both shows too. Shooting from the back of the venue with my 600mm lens and a 70-200mm lens. Dita's shows are always a delight to photograph, and I love burlesque and drag.

“The evening leaves the audience enthralled, laughing, gasping, and utterly swept up in the magic of the show.“
The hand-picked (by Dita) supports for the show were nothing less than amazing, talented and jaw-dropping. Dirty Martini, Lazio, Tosca, Bendelacreme (host), Zelia Rose and Rahid.
