    Eventbrite booking link

    Tonight’s guest Danielle Peck is a producer and director of multiple, international award-winning documentaries as well as being an accomplished photographer. She has never stopped asking questions about the world and has embraced a range of subjects, formats and roles that have continued to feed her curiosity whilst devising new approaches to visual story-telling, whether that’s through film or photography.

    Her most recent documentary series, currently on Apple TV+ is about the music that emerged in the politically and culturally turbulent year of 1971. It was made entirely with archival footage and photographs, woven together with specially recorded or archival interviews with the top artists, producers and cultural figures from that year. She was also the series producer of the multiple award-winning Wonders of the Solar System presented by Professor Brian Cox on BBC2, and took great inspiration for the visual approach from space photography like the exquisite images of Saturn and its moons, taken by the Cassini spacecraft.

    Danielle is also a documentary, live performance and fine art photographer, with work exhibited at the Turner Contemporary, the London Art Fair, Newlyn Art Gallery and the Grundy Art Gallery. Her documentary work has been published in books entitled Dreamland and Seaside: Photographed as well as the Guardian, Daily Mail, Financial Times, the Observer and Creative Review. Portraits she’s taken for her documentary films have also been widely published in the TV pages of newspapers and magazines. She has worked with Action Aid International, gathering multimedia material for several advocacy campaigns and worked as a photographer with local NGOs in Ghana and Madagascar. She has combined her documentary film and photography experience, running BBC Pictures, the department that creates and manages all the promotional photography for the BBC’s TV, radio and online programmes.
