John Walcutt Portraits – Photos by Melina Pizano, Orange County Register – July 2013

Recently I was given the privilege to photograph John Walcutt, an actor who will be portraying Malvolio in Twelfth Night… or What You Will and Macbeth in The Tragedy of Macbeth this summer at Shakespeare Orange County. In the first two photographs I used the lighting and pose to help portray the characters of Macbeth and Malvolio, respectively. Not having read or seen Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night, I decided to research Malvolio’s role. In my research I found a letter that he thought was from Olivia was important to the play. The next morning I printed the letter in script font on an 8×13 sheet of paper and tea stained it to use as a prop (as shown in the third photo.)
