Architectural photography of Exhibitions at the Victoria and Albert Museum.

The blog of Simon Kennedy, Architectural Photographer based in London.

This ongoing project to photograph exhibitions was instructed by the V and A, as a method of recording and celebrating their highly sophisticated and meticulously detailed and crafted exhibitions. Before the shoot I was very fortunate to be informed of the sheer level engagement that goes into each production, from the design of custom typefaces, display mounts and cabinets to the creation of custom paints.
