Portraits of a composer: Cheryl Frances-Hoad

I first took photos of Cheryl a few years back with soprano Natalie Raybould (www.natalieraybould.co.uk) when they formed Golden Hat Opera (GHO on Twitter).

In the last few weeks it was announced that Cheryl won the prestigious British Composer Awards 2010 (www.britishcomposerawards.com) in two categories, Liturgical, and Instrumental Solo or Duo, and I was delighted to meet her in Cambridge for a shoot for album artwork and to promote her new works.
