Frances Marshall began learning the piano at five years old, but was also captivated by copies of Vanity Fair around her house, which founded her love of music and the visual arts from a young age. At nineteen years old, she had a job as an usher at the National Concert Hall in Dublin, and persuaded her boss to let her backstage with her camera, giving her unique access to all the visiting artists. Soon, Frances was getting hired as a photographer, and went on to found Final Note, an online magazine tracing the journeys of artists and their paths to the top of the industry. Frances is now a photographer with OperaWire, and has co-founded the branding agency Marshall Light Studio with Sophie Light, creating bespoke branding, website design, portrait and stage photography for the world of classical music and opera.
