The 39 Steps just wrapped a brilliant season at the Brisbane Arts Theatre. Visually a lot of fun to photograph – and a credit to the newly professional status of the theatre.

In 2016 we continued our relationship with the Brisbane Arts Theatre, photographing many of their main stage productions as well as their iconic children’s productions. Production shoots like this usually take place on the last or second-to-last rehearsal before the production opens, so lighting, staging, costumes etc are all pretty much right, and the images are a good likeness of what patrons will see when they come to the show. We photograph headshots of the cast for the programme, and you will often see the production photos in media when the first reviews start rolling in.

Here are some of our favourites from the 2016 season.
