Everywoman
It’s not every day I get to emphasise anonymity in a poster shoot and blast someone with a wind machine at full hurricane levels…
Publicity and poster shots for Everywoman, a one-woman exploration of motherhood and what it means to be a woman, which comes to the Vault Festival in February next year and stars the fabulous Charlotte Merriam.
Much Ado About Nothing
Publicity and production shots from Antic Disposition’s cathedral tour of Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing.
The tour runs to 24 July before the production decamps to France. It comes to London, at Gray’s Inn Hall, from 17 August.
The Grift
Something completely different this time.
Shots from The Grift at the Town Hall Hotel in Bethnal Green, which takes audiences round this magnificent venue solving puzzles and learning con tricks on the way to getting revenge on the greatest con artist of all.
The fantastic experience runs to 25 March.
Le Grand Mort
So this was a fun shoot.
Publicity and poster shots of Julian Clary and James Nelson-Joyce for the thriller, Le Grand Mort, which starts previews at Trafalgar Studios next week.
In rehearsal: The Braille Legacy
Publicity and rehearsal shots for new musical The Braille Legacy, which opens at the Charing Cross Theatre next week.
The show follows the story of Louis Braille, a blind boy who revolutionised the lives of the blind with his invention of a tactile alphabet.
Counting Stars
Advertising, rehearsal and production shots for the hilarious and thought-provoking (in equal measure) Counting Stars at the Theatre Royal Stratford East.
The show, which follows two nightclub toilet attendants with dreams through Valentine’s Day night, runs to 17 September.
Playing with shadows
These were fun to shoot.
Forthcoming new play It Is Easy To Be Dead at the Finborough looks at the life of poet Charles Sorley, who was among the first to sign up to fight in World War I and died a year later.
For the advertising shots of star Alexander Knox, I wanted to focus more on the poet than the soldier so that we could avoid shooting a straight portrait of a man in uniform. But the images still needed to say enough about the war theme for people to understand what the show is. And so came the shadows…
A big thank you to Antic Disposition for kindly lending us the war props that make the shots work.
In The Bar of a Tokyo Hotel
Advertising, poster and production photos from Tennessee Williams’ rarely performed In The Bar of a Tokyo Hotel at the Charing Cross Theatre, starring the legendary Linda Marlowe.
If you want to see the show, you have just over a week left. The final performance is on 14 May.
Henry V returns
Publicity shots of the wonderful Freddie Stewart and Floriane Andersen, shot for the forthcoming tour of Antic Disposition’s World-War-I-based take on Shakespeare’s Henry V.
The tour begins in London on 26 March before visiting some of the nation’s great cathedrals, before bowing out at the Holy Trinity Church in Stratford-upon-Avon.
