Theatre photography

Documentation includes the capturing of an artistic expression, the presentation, the realization of the theme and also the stage design.

Some large theatres have their own advertising department, in which permanently committed photographers also work.

In addition, digital photography allows a quick and timely publication of the photos in mass media.

There are often extra "photo and TV rehearsals" before the premiere, to which press photographers are invited.

Photo and TV rehearsals, for example, are the standard in all theatres and opera houses in Berlin and Hamburg, Salzburg and Vienna.
