Nelson and Marshall

Nelson and Marshall is an artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

Nelson and Marshall snapped photos of actors mid-performance, catching their facial expressions in crisp detail. One shot shows an actor in costume, mouth open like he’s screaming his next line—no props, no stage, just the raw face behind the role. Their photos feel like stolen moments, not posed portraits. Look up Guy Little Theatrical Photograph to see what happens when a camera replaces a theater critic.
