Skyward scene evoking airborne movement and perspective

The best museum image is not always the most dramatic one; it is the one that preserves meaning.

Ethical baseline

  • Photograph exhibits, not private grief
  • Avoid flash where prohibited
  • Keep passageways clear

Narrative sequence idea

1) Context shot
2) Detail shot
3) Transition shot
4) Reflection shot
Subject Framing idea
Aircraft Include scale cues
Small artifacts Angle for texture
Outdoor memorials Use negative space

Seeing comes before shooting.
