Luckily, the museum creator allowed me and a couple of my friends to have a look at the storeroom were most of a museums collection is kept, he also revealed that only 15% of any museums collection is actually displayed while the other 85% is hidden away on dusty shelves and cramped cupboards.
while i was in the storeroom i managed to take a few shots of the rustic, vintage, old objects.
The above images provide great personality and atmosphere as i have managed to capture the old, forgotten state of the museums collection, using high contrasts and increasing the definition of the images to highlight the mass amount of detail within the storeroom.
After looking around the rest of the museum and its collection i asked the curator if it was possible to take pictures of some of the Egyptian collection but with a hands on approach.
luckily he was more than willing to let me physically hold some of the Egyptian artefacts that were more than 3,000 years old.
the museum visit has given me an insight into asking people and arranging visits as i build my persona as a photographer.
for example, for me to be able to take further pictures in the museum, if i chose to pursue this more, i would have to ring up the museum, speak to the curator and arrange a day were i would be able to come up and be able to do some shots. this is what is going to be expected of me in my later years as i will have to speak to people and arrange visits to places to be able to get the images i desire.
