Exhibition & Museum Photography – Art, Space and Atmosphere Precisely Captured

Expressive photography for museums, curators, artists, and agencies.
I capture curatorial concepts, spatial dramaturgy, and materiality in a way that
preserves their intended impact — for catalogs, press, online publications, and archives.

Why Professional Museum & Exhibition Photography?

An exhibition has an impact far beyond its opening — in press coverage, funding applications,
catalogs, publications, and references. With precise photography, lighting, spatial design,
typography,
and materiality are documented without compromising their original effect.
The result is a reliable visual collection for archives, PR, and marketing — all while preserving
the character of the exhibits.

Through controlled perspectives, color-neutral editing, and a sensitive on-site approach,
I create a clear and calm visual language that reflects the curatorial intent.

Frequently Asked Questions about Museum & Exhibition Photography

When is the best time for photography?

Ideally outside public opening hours to allow for calm, clean documentation without visitor traffic.
During openings or press events, I can also provide live coverage if desired.

How do you handle difficult lighting conditions?

I work with careful exposure control and color-neutral editing. Spotlight, mixed, and twilight lighting are
rendered so that both atmosphere and color accuracy are preserved.

Are glass, reflections, or showcases a problem?

These challenges are anticipated. Through controlled perspectives, polarization filters, and reflection
management, unwanted glare is minimized and details remain visible.

Do you also document setup and installation processes?

Yes. Setup and making-of photography is valuable for funders, documentation, and social media.
I’m happy to plan fixed milestones into the shooting schedule.

How many images do you deliver and in what format?

The quantity depends on scope and complexity. Typically, you’ll receive a curated series in full resolution
(print) plus web-optimized versions — clearly named and consistently organized.

What usage rights are included?

You receive broad usage rights for the museum or institution: website, social media, press, and publications.
I retain the right to use selected images for my portfolio. Rights for individual exhibits are clarified
with you in advance.

Do you also cover openings, tours, and lectures?

Yes — discreetly and close to the action. I deliver atmospheric reportage photography that supports
your mediation and public relations work.

How quickly do you deliver the final images?

Usually within 3–5 business days. For press deadlines, I can prioritize selected key visuals for faster delivery.

Can you prepare series specifically for archives or catalogs?

Of course. On request, I can deliver defined resolutions, crops/profiles, structured folders, consistent
filenames, and metadata — ready for archiving and catalog production.

Do you also offer short videos for social media?

Yes. Short, calm sequences (e.g. room walkthroughs, details, visitor flow) complement the photo series
and increase reach across your channels.

I’ll advise you on timing, permissions, and priorities — and deliver a consistent,
publication-ready photo series for press, catalogs, web, and archives.
