Stead, O (Ed.) (2001) 150 Treasures. Auckland: D. Bateman, Auckland War Memorial Museum

Photography by Krzysztof Pfeiffer

I took this book along to my first meeting with Museums Wellington, partially to keep some pieces of paper flat, and partially so that I would have some examples of photos used by museums. In the end the book was most useful in the former capacity. The photographs of objects that the museum is interested in is straight forward archival images, lit without shadows and with a reference to scale, and the other photographs are to be of interiors, so also not relevant.
