Duport
Duport is an artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This guy Duport? He was the 1830s Parisian who snapped photos of actors mid-scene, freezing their painted stage poses in actual moments. His trick was timing, he’d trigger the camera at the exact second a performer struck a pose from a famous play.
Want to see for yourself? Hunt down his “Guy Little Theatrical Photograph” online and compare the frozen face to the painted original, two artforms tangled in one frame.
