A. Ken
A. Ken is an artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This guy A. Ken was a London photographer who spent his days shooting actors in their off-hours, not on stage but lounging in their dressing gowns or mugging for the camera. His trick was making them look like themselves, just without the costume and spotlight. If you’ve ever wanted to peek behind the velvet curtain at what a Victorian Hamlet or Juliet really looked like when no one was watching, grab his 1890s “Guy Little Theatrical Photograph” and squint close—you’ll see ink-stained fingers and tired eyes behind the glamour.
