Worked closely with the Museum of Contemporary Art, Cleveland and artist, Anders Ruhwald, to produce photographic documentation of his large-scale installation Unit 1: 3583 Dubois. The dimly lit exhibition required long exposures to record the detail and richness of surface, material and tonality while maintaining the feeling evoked by the work. To achieve these concerns, minimal lighting was only added when necessary. Exposures were mostly made under lighting conditions viewers experienced when visiting the installation to maintain consistency between documentation and experience – some very long exposures were only made by candlelight alone. Exhibition organized by Megan Lykins Reich, Deputy Director .
