Scarlet studied photography at the University of Westminster (formerly known as PCL) in the mid nineties, after which she assisted international rock photographer Ross Halfin. Scarlet's straight forward, easy-going attitude makes bands and artists feel comfortable and allows her to portray them in a relaxed and cool way. As a result she is equally as popular with record companies as with the bands themselves, who often request her to cover tours or live events.
Scarlet shoots music editorial including Q, Mojo and Kerrang. In the States she shoots for Blender, Flaunt and Spin magazines. As well as working regularly with British bands such as The Darkness, Placebo and the Stereophonics, she also often shoots in the U.S with artists such as Marilyn Manson, The Foo Fighters and The Red Hot Chilli Peppers
One of Scarlet's biggest commercial ventures to date was her collaboration with Robbie Williams on his best selling book Somebody Someday. Scarlet toured with Robbie and documented the time superbly which resulted in the images for the book.
The Darkness also asked her to be their offical photographer at the height of their fame, which she greatly enjoyed. She joined the band on a world tour and had many memorable shoots with them in varied locations from studios in London, to the blue mountains in Australia and throughout Europe and The States with the resulting images being used on CD sleeves, DVD's, for posters and magazine covers.
Scarlet continues to be commissioned by bands and their labels and has recently shot Supergrass, The Fratellis and London-based U.S. youngsters Cage The Elephant. She also did a shoot for The Independent behind the scenes at the MTV nights in Islington.
Scarlet has branched out in the last couple of years, doing several fashion shoots including Banana Republic for The Standard as their flagship store opened here and a look book for FrostFrench. She has also been involved in several charity projects - notably a black and white exhibition of people in the public eye with children close to them for the charity War Child that was shown at Proud Gallery, Camden and was subsequently hung at The Royal Albert Hall as well as at Scarlet's former college. Recently Scarlet completed a series of portraits of celebrities with their pets for the 2009 calendar of established pet charity - PDSA and has also been working on the Electric Dreams project shooting Sadie Frost and Nicholas Hoult.
