The modern-day Museum Photographers - Architecture

During the six-week Creative Photography Course I am currently running at the V&A, the students are working as Museum Photographers (click here for the background to the project).

With references to the work of Charles Thurston Thompson and Isabel Cowper (the V&A’s first staff photographers), the group are exploring a combination of architectural, portrait, documentary and reportage photography, to develop a collection of images that depict their individual views and interpretations of the building, its inhabitants, and activities and events that take place there.

Throughout the course I will be posting a selection of their images on the V&A's blog culminating - in the final week - with a multi-layered 'portrait' of the Museum.

Click here for the first V&A blog post, where we showcase photographs of the building taken during week two of the course, and see below for a small edit...
