Dance and Theatre

Crickmay’s career as an opera and dance photographer was launched in 1961 when he photographed the pianist Ivor Newton at the Royal Opera House. The press office were very impressed with his work and invited him back the next day to photograph the Kirov Ballet’s production of ‘The Stone Flower’. This launched Crickmay’s career as one of the most acclaimed dance photographers of his generation.
