DOCUMENTING some of the WORLD’s most valuable artifacts

Photographing the artifacts at Saruq Al Hadid Museum was a delightful experience. Capturing the unique features and intricate details of each artifact was fulfilling. Each piece had its own history and story, and capturing that in a photograph was special.

The chance to see and handle ancient items, some thousands of years old, was one of the most thrilling aspects of the project. Holding historical coins or pottery and capturing their beauty and details through my camera was amazing.

The integration of the Hasselblad camera and Broncolor lighting played a pivotal role in achieving extraordinary levels of detail and clarity in our captured images. The Hasselblad camera, renowned for its precision, provided the flexibility for fine-tuning, ensuring each shot captured was nothing short of ideal. The resultant images boast high resolution, impeccable color accuracy, and an extensive dynamic range—qualities essential for future observation and in-depth study of the artifact pieces. This harmonious blend of cutting-edge technology and meticulous craftsmanship ensures that every nuance of the artifacts is preserved for scholarly examination and appreciation.
