The Art of Exhibition Photography

I have been lucky enough to document a some great exhibitions at several different museums around Houston. In many ways, photographing the layout of the artwork within the exhibition spaces is similar to photographing interior spaces. However, it can be vastly different focusing on the art first and foremost rather than the space itself. Below is a collection of photographs from various exhibitions.

Some recent photos from the Contemporary Arts Museum. Designed by Gunnar Birkerts and opened in 1972.

I also did a few “speed edits” to show how I edited a couple of these in Photoshop CC 2019. Videos below. There are a lot of things I could’ve done differently that probably would’ve saved time and been more efficient but I figured these were good enough to test my new-to-me screen recording software (OBS Studio).
