Collection Digitisation Project - Powerhouse museum
As a museum photographer, my priority is to faithfully represent each object without altering its appearance. Unlike commercial photography where post-production can enhance visual appeal, cultural heritage photography demands integrity—every pixel must reflect the object's true condition and story. This discipline is a skill in itself, requiring precision, technical control, and a respect for the object's historical and cultural significance.
