NGA

For an excursion we went to the NGA and were luckily enough to have the chance to be taken behind the scenes to where the photographic area is set up. The NGA has to shoot a wide range of subject matter from big sculptors to littles art works it is very important that the lighting is correct so the image appears as close as possible to the original work. They have two studio's one that is used for copy work and the other is used for bigger works of art. Like CIT they have a digital darkroom where the walls are all neural and have monitors that have been calibrated.

Another reason we went to the NGA we to get an idea of different artist books that were possible and the different materials that could be used and how it could be made.
