Whitaker

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

This guy hung around theaters so much he could probably name every gaslight without looking. He shot actors mid-performance, catching their hammed-up grins and the sweat on their foreheads. The best of these, Guy Little Theatrical Photograph, freezes a second where the stage lights hit the wrong angle and the whole drama tilts into comedy. You’ll spot it fast, it’s like peeking through the curtain at a backstage mess.
