The indoor programme for Skylines Poetry and Spoken Word Festival in Coventry on 15 July 2022 brought together writers and artists for a structured evening of live reading and performance.

Photographing the event meant working within theatre lighting, focusing on expression, gesture and the exchange between speaker and audience. I balanced wider frames of the stage with tighter moments during emphasis, capturing both individual delivery and collective response within the room.

The coverage reflects a live literary event shaped by voice, timing and shared attention in a formal theatre setting.
