It goes further especially in the actor portraits category that reveals how photography is a well-skilled medium to convene a broad range of concepts and meanings and contribute to identify the theatre specificity and its history.porTheatre photography - PortugalTheatre Studies - PortugalTheatre Iconographybook part
