A digital SLR camera, your cell phone, and a hope that images accurately reflect your museum objects? This workshop has you covered.
With the gracious support from the Paul O. Robertson estate, KAM is pleased to offer Digital Photodocumentation of Museum Objects, facilitated by Mylène Choquette, Senior Scientific Documentation Technologist and Germain Wiseman, Scientific Documentation Technologist from the Canadian Conversation Institute (CCI), Canadian Heritage.
A KAM founding board member, the late Paul O. Robertson, championed lifelong learning and supporting museum professionals to continue to develop the necessary talents and keep on top of emerging technologies.
Through this two-day intensive, hands-on workshop, Mylène and Germain will explain how to digitally photograph museum objects to meet conservation and documentation requirements. It includes information on how to choose proper photographic equipment, the various types of digital cameras and how they function, different light sources and their influence on colour, assorted lighting techniques and setting up a digital workflow. The importance of combining all these elements in an appropriate manner to consistently produce accurate images is also discussed.
