Welcome to the home of theatre photography

Welcome to Darkling Images. The site is dedicated to stage and theatre photography and is maintained by stage photographer Peter Marsh. It is also the theatre arm of ashmorevisuals. You will find the complete range of performance and theatre photography within, from promotional shoots to first nights. The productions are grouped by year of performance and may be viewed from the Galleries link on the main menu. Enjoy your visit.

How can we help with your stage photography?

We have extensive experience in the coverage of theatrical productions at all levels and shall be delighted to discuss with directors, producers, actors, set and lighting designers any aspect of documenting your production. We can do your head-shots and promotional photography, record your rehearsal process and even provide full coverage of your first night. Let us help you produce eye-catching photo-books of your production, such as those on our Book details page. Just use the Contact link on the main menu to get in touch.
