Gallery 9 shows photos of Vanessa-Mae as a child and at the early stages of her career before she became a world wide superstar with the release of The Violin Player album.
The photos below come from family albums and show Vanessa-Mae as a baby (to the left: Vanessa-Mae commented once that she was extremely fat then); in family surroundings with her mother, grandma and an aunt (2nd and 3rd form the left); Vanessa-Mae posing as a family together with her mother Pamela and stepfather Graham (3rd from the right); Vanessa-Mae practising the piano with her mother (2nd from the right); Vanessa-Mae posing at some ancient gate, probable in China when she attended the Central Conservatoire in Beijing, around 1985-1986.
Portraits of Vanessa-Mae with her instruments. The photo to the right comes from a session to create a cover for her debut cd Violin (Debut). To the left is Vanessa-Mae practising the piano. The photo in the middle shows Vanessa-Mae with her Hill violin (she is obviously under 10, the age she had when she received her Guadagnini violin).
