When I'm not in front of a sewing machine I can often be found behind a camera.
The Kent State Museum has a wonderful collection and this gown is just one of the beauties that will be shown during the upcoming Civil War exhibit. I can't wait to see everything installed!
Do you work in a museum or are you a professional photographer? In both I would terribly, terribly envy you. How did you get there? I'd love to know, because I'm kind of in a crisis right now, on which way I should go. Many greetings!
I do work in a museum and before that spent many years working as a photographer. I feel so fortunate to be able to research and work with gorgeous garments and other interesting objects. What kind of crisis are you in? I'll email you with a bit more information so I don't ramble on forever in a comment. Talk to you soon!
You lucky thing! What an awesome job! Are you just the photographer, or do you research and study outfits?
Of course, I spent 5 years working for a fabulous museum and quit just over a year ago to pursue my 'dream' job, so my envy is tinged with a bit of nostalgia and a LOT of pragmatism about the realities of museum work!
Hi, could you tell me what light/equiptment you use. Im looking to buy a studio kit for costume photography and you look like the person who would know
The museum set up is super simple, just two flash units. The Fotodiox L-300 we use isn't bad. It's small and easy to set up and break down, has a model light, and allows control over output. Two of them should take care of most of your flash needs if your doing similar work.
That's one of the coolest day jobs, ever.
ReplyDeleteoho JEALOUS! What an awesome job!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm so fortunate!
ReplyDeleteWow! That would be a fun job. Lucky you!
ReplyDeleteOh how lovely! I didn't know that you work in museums. Hopefully you will be able to give us the inside scoop on corset-making :-)
