Photos Of Fiona Shaw Masterclass
11/December/2010 23:23
This is a selection of some of the photographs from a Shakespeare masterclass Fiona Shaw gave at the Theatre Royal Haymarket earlier in the year. Fiona worked with individual actors and pairs on monologues and duologues from three different Shakespeare plays. Fiona got the actors to breakdown the patterns in which they had learnt the text to get totally fresh and more interesting interpretations. Fiona also took questions from the audience.

The Early Bird Production Photos
24/June/2010 15:41 Filed in: Theatre Production Photography
Following on from the blog I posted a few weeks ago with early publicity photos from The Early Bird these are some of the rehearsal photographs from the same production. The play was performed earlier in the year at the Finborough Theatre in London and stars just two actors Catherine Cusack and Alex Palmer. Directed by Donnacadh O'Briain the play is about when two parents daughter disappears. Debbie and Jack face every parent’s nightmare when their child disappears, leaving them to deal with a gaping hole that’s been left in their lives forever. The Early Bird journeys deep inside the troubled minds and fractured relationship of an ordinary couple, unlocking the door to the darkest corners of the human mind.

The Early Bird Press Photos
30/April/2010 22:46 Filed in: Theatre Production Photography
These are some of the early publicity photos I took in January of 'The Early Bird' written by Leo Butler before the set was complete. They were used for early press and publicity use. As they needed to be taken against a black backdrop but still required to look like they were production photos rather than posed photos in a studio it was decided to find a theatre space.

Gilgamesh
01/March/2010 11:20 Filed in: Theatre Production Photography
These are some of the photographs I took last year for Aldateateret who are a Norwegian theatre company. The production is called Gilgamesh. It is a 5000 years old story of a king who thinks he is immortal. He was the king of Uruk in Babylonia which is what is now known as part of Iraq. He lived in about 2700 BC.
The production was being workshoped in a dance studio in London for four days before I photographed it and was partly funded by the Norwegian Arts Council. The team of people that worked on the production are martial artists, gymnasts, dancers, musicians and physical theatre specialists and were chosen for their skills, to perform fights as a tool to tell the story.

Publicity Photos For Production Of "Reality Chokes"
08/August/2009 21:01 Filed in: Theatre Production Photography
Below are some of the photos that were taken for the punk play "Reality Chokes" which is on at the Edinburgh Fringe. The play is written by Al Gregg and David Schaal and is a black comedy about lost love, thwarted ambition and mid-life crisis. It is a poignant and funny look at what happens when unresolved conflicts resurface in men who refuse to grow up.
The play was successfully premiered last year at Pentameters Theatre in Hampstead, London where I originally photographed it. At the time it was directed by television and theatre director, Chris Jury. This time around David Schaal who had been acting in it has stepped down to direct the play and has largely recast it for Edinburgh due to availability of the existing cast, with only Al Greg remaining from the original cast. The new cast includes, Al Gregg (Dan), David Marx (John), Cathy MacManamon (Chrissie), Lloyd Morris (Plod), Christopher Tajah (Steve), Matthew Ward (Rob) and Lizzie Stables (Tricia).

Early Press Photos From Death Of Long Pig
20/July/2009 16:45 Filed in: Theatre Production Photography
These are some of the photos that were taken for early press and publicity use of 'Death Of Long Pig' by Nigel Planer.
The photographs were taken in a rehearsal room at the Jerwood Space in London a few weeks before the play opened at the Finborough Theatre. At the time no set was available so we had to improvise with the backdrop which was in fact a piece of material that was later used in the production. Full costumes were available though. To make sure the photographs looked real and in the moment, I got the actors to run short scenes from the play and photographed these.

Missing Since Monday
10/June/2009 09:07 Filed in: Theatre Production Photography
These are some of the rehearsal photographs that were taken of 'Missing Since Monday' a new chamber musical by Harriet Oughton with Fran Morley and the Nuffield Youth Theatre. The photos were taken before the dress rehearsal whilst the cast and director were working on key scenes from the musical.
The production is about Laura Barton, aged just 15, who has gone missing after an argument at a party.
Rumours are flying around about what has happened to her. Nobody knows, but there is no shortage of theories.
Nuffield Youth Theatre spent a term researching real stories of missing teenagers, including Dan Nolan, improvising and devising scenes of their own and developing their singing skills. Another term of work on the completed script and score have stretched those skills further.

The School For Scandal
04/May/2009 14:42 Filed in: Theatre Production Photography
These are some of the dress rehearsal photographs that were taken of The School for Scandal written by Richard Brinsley Sheridan early this year. Normally I would take photographs of the whole of the cast in full costume running through the entire production. Due do technical difficulties this was not possible. The heating system had broken down earlier in the morning so it meant everything was running behind. In the end I took some photographs of key scenes before the first run at lunch time. I decided to stay and watch the whole production on it's opening performance. This turned out to be well worth while as the play was excellent with a fine cast. Also I had an opportunity to spot other key scenes that I thought would make good photographs. After the play I asked the cast to run some of these scenes again so I could capture their performance. The finished photographs were then sent out to the press for use with reviews and other promotion. These have been used in a lot of online media. The play was put on by Red Handed Theatre Company and directed by Jessica Swale.

This is a selection of photographs that were taken for TheatreCraft 2008 at the London Coliseum in London in November. Some of photographs were then later used in 'The Stage' newspaper in January this year.

Run by Masterclass at The Theatre Royal Haymarket in association with Mousetrap Theatre Projects, Society of London Theatre, ENO Baylis and supported by The Stage, TheatreCraft 2008 at the London Colesium was a great success. It explored the many skills involved in staging a production through workshops, talks, demonstrations and displays from leading theatre practitioners and training providers.

TheatreCraft is a skills fair which highlights all the career opportunities in theatre outside of performance. Run by Masterclass at The Theatre Royal Haymarket in association with Mousetrap Theatre Projects, Society of London Theatre, ENO Baylis and supported by The Stage, TheatreCraft 2008 at the London Colesium was a great success. It explored the many skills involved in staging a production through workshops, talks, demonstrations and displays from leading theatre practitioners and training providers. TheatreCraft is an annual event and new dates and times for TheatreCraft 2009 will be announced later this year.
