Todd

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

Todd made photos that feel like backstage gossip, glamour with the curtain still up. He spent his career sneaking into 19th-century theaters, catching actors mid-change, wigs askew and costumes half on. What sticks is his knack for making those stolen seconds look like the real show.

Find one of his “Guy Little” prints and you’ll see why theater people still point to it when they want to explain why live performance never truly disappears.
