Art photography
Installation and exhibition photography in Dubai.
Installation views with true colour and straight verticals, before the doors open. Then the opening, the talks and the people in the room.
What we photograph
Installation and exhibition photography
For galleries, museums, art fairs, auction houses and artists. The installation view is the record of the show long after it closes, so it is photographed as carefully as the works themselves.
Installation views
Every room and every wall, with straight verticals and the light as the curator set it.
Art fair booths
Your booth or pavilion photographed before the crowds arrive, day by day if needed.
Openings and previews
Artists, collectors and guests, photographed without standing in front of the work.
Talks and tours
Panels, curator talks and guided tours, for press and the archive.
Method
An installation view is a document. It is photographed like one.
Verticals
Walls, frames and plinths straight, corrected in camera and in post.
Light
The exhibition lighting kept as designed, with the works exposed correctly.
Empty rooms
Photographed before opening or after hours, so no visitor crosses the frame.

Questions
What galleries, collectors and artists ask.
When do you photograph the installation?
Usually after the hang and before the opening, or after hours, so the rooms are empty and the lighting is final.
Can you cover every day of an art fair?
Yes. We plan the fair day by day, from the booth before opening to VIP previews and talks.
Do you photograph the works individually as well?
Yes. Individual works are photographed on a separate, colour-managed set. See artwork photography.
Who holds the rights to the photographs?
The artist keeps the copyright of the work itself. We license the photographs to the gallery, collector, institution or artist for the uses agreed in writing, such as press, catalogues, insurance and online sales.
Do you work outside Dubai?
Yes. We work across Abu Dhabi and every emirate, including Sharjah, Ras Al Khaimah, Fujairah, Ajman, Umm Al Quwain, and travel to fairs, collections and studios abroad on request.
