A Modern Othello

Andrew  Maccoll

A Modern Othello

Australian actor best known for his roles on E-Street, Charmed and Good Guys, Bad Guys… He also played a role in Hollywood movie Mulholland Drive. This portrait shoot was promoting Othello which is currently playing at the Melbourne Arts Centre. What was really cool though was that during the shoot Marcus began reciting parts of the play which really gave the shoot a different spin. Marcus is an absolutely fantastic guy and was definately a pleasure to shoot. This portrait especially is my favourite due to the emphasis put on his face from the silhouetted arm. It was quite an involved lighting set up that took me around an hour to get right… In the end though I was totally satisfied with the result!

    Yeh, his Iago was totally vicious and manipulative, with the barest of excuses… perfect, basically.

    Excellent lighting technique, the hour that you put in to the setup paid off very well.
    I love the way he goes from human to shadow.
