Welcome to the Recantha Photography website

Theatrical Performance Photography
Most amateur theatre companies have photographs taken of their shows. As members of several societies, we have found that most of the photographs taken are very expensive for the cast to buy, sometimes as high as £2 for a 6x4"!

Our photographs are of the same quality as a professional photographer and cost a fraction of the price. We do not charge to come and take photographs of the show and we offer prints of our photographs at very low prices.


Depending on the distance we have to travel to take the photos, we can offer prints for as low as 35p for a 6x4 print and 55p for a 9x6 print. We can also supply CDs containing all the photographs for £10.

Delivery and Format

We use digital film, which means that we can take photographs of your dress rehearsal, create a catalogue of the photos and then deliver the catalogue, and order forms etc. to your venue for the cast to browse during show week. This means that there is no waiting around for processing and the cast can expect their prints much quicker than from conventional film. We will collect the envelopes containing order forms and payments from a nominated representative of your society on the last night of your show and you can expect prints to be with your cast two-three weeks after that. We also offer a two-week period where the prints are available online so cast members can browse and order them at their leisure.

 

Front of House Portrait Photography
We are available to take posed cast photographs to be used for programmes and front of house purposes.

These are modestly priced and are available within a short time frame (normally a week).

They will be digitally corrected and are suitable for printing up to A4 size.



Packages

We offer some very attractive packages, which can be used as presentation gifts for your director, producer, choreographer, or even your lead actors.

For typical examples, please see our price list.
