Fradelle & Young

They ran a London studio where actors came to pose for photos that look like actors onstage, even though the sets were just painted backdrops and props. One shot shows a woman in a ruffled dress frozen mid-curse—all because the photographer kept the shutter open long enough for her to chew scenery between takes. Their pictures feel like stills from a play that never ends. Look up Guy Little Theatrical Photograph and you’ll see what they kept hidden behind the curtain.
