Who is Bronac McNeill?

Bronac loves capturing people whether through

  • the photographs: in her portraiture, theatre, music or head shots
  • or in film: with her many corporate films and ventures into short drama films.

It’s all about spotting the ‘rarely seen’. At events she captures those bits that make the evening – the fun, the giggles and emotion.

With film she has an innate ability to make everyone at ease on set, both crew and subject which can be especially hard when working with the public.

As with any good photographer, Bronac doesn’t just love the camera, she is inspired by the characters she shoots. With her passion for meeting new people, she’s previously travelled extensively, with camera always in hand. Coming full circle, she eventually ended up in London as the Production Manager of Magnum Photos’ London office in 1999-2001.

Since leaving Magnum, Bronac has developed her photography through constant observation. From high profile corporate events, to the arts and everyday life, Bronac brings a magnifying glass to the small details, ‘the good bits’ as she calls them, that we often miss.
