Photos by Ranald Mackechnie
These wonderful photos were taken by Ranald Mackechnie, with whom we have been privileged to work for the last couple of seasons. Ranald's work has included our full orchestra and administration photos, taken in LSO St Luke's in 2015, and the photo of Sir Simon Rattle and the Orchestra at the announcement of his Music Directorship in March 2015.

The making of..
A few from behind the scenes of the photo shoot! We shot the musicians upstairs in the Barbican Centre's conference rooms after rehearsals in the hall. They were taken in small groups over a couple of sessions – getting everyone together at the same time can be very tricky indeed! Some excellent photoshop work by designer Kerry White of Friend Studio created the seemless photos that you see above.
