The Half

"The Half"

from Friday, September 14, 2012 to Saturday, October 20, 2012

Galerie XII Paris

This exhibition featured 30 black and white photographs showing many of the most celebrated actors including Daniel Craig, Vanessa Redgrave, Cate Blanchett, Kristin Scott Thomas and Jude Law, in the intimacy of their dressing rooms.

The portraits have all been taken during the 30 minutes before curtain up, known as ‘the half’. The half is one of the most private times for an actor, a time for intense concentration to prepare for the performance ahead. It is a moment rarely captured on film.
