Abstract
The relationship between photography and theatre dates back to the earliest days of the invention of photography in the mid-nineteenth century when actors went to photographers’ studios and posed in costume and in character and began to discover the potential of these studio portraits for publicity and promotional purposes (Buszek 1999). Photographers seem to have been equally fascinated by actors, whose expressive faces and bodies, and ability to hold a pose, made them ideal subjects for the camera at that stage of its development.
