Robot Faces: Exhibition Photography

This exhibition at the Science Museum explored the 500 year history of humanoid robots. It opened in 2017 in London, and in 2018 Life Science Centre in Newcastle was lucky enough to host it before it toured internationally, this year in Berlin.

If you love a robot face, particularly the 1970’s 80’s toys like me, then you’d have been in for treat at this exhibition! It was a joy to capture these photos for the Life marketing team, the colourful lighting, cartoon style designs and the amazing interactive technology of the moving and talking machines!

The exhibition graphics are the design work of the amazing London based Environmental Graphic Designers, Studio HB, for whom I have captured images for the David Bowie, Winnie the Pooh, Dylan Thomas and most recently the Corbridge Hoard exhibitions to name but a few.

These colourful robot photos are the perfect antidote to a grey day or a crazy pandemic lockdown…. just look at their funny googley eyes! If you wanted to find out more about the fantastic PR stunt that I captured to promote the exhibition’s visit to Life then you can read a blog I wrote in 2018 on this link here.

V&A London, David Bowie is

/0 Comments/in /by

This Saturday the hugely anticipated David Bowie is exhibition opens at the V&A in London. It has had a record breaking ticket pre-sales and the reviews are fantastic.

As a rather over excited official photographer I went in on Monday to capture the exhibition specifically focusing on the Environmental Graphic Design for studio HB http://www.studiohb.co.uk/ and for the other team members including AV Designers (Olympic Opening Ceremony & War Horse) 59 Productions http://59productions.co.uk/, 3D Designers Real Studios http://www.realstudios.co.uk/ and DHA Lighting Design http://www.dhadesigns.com/

The grey, orange and black colour palette is a fun and sophisticated nod to Bowie’s Ziggy days and the dramatic projections, sample objects and iconic costumes are a treat to soak up. So for those of you who don’t have an invite to the opening party or cant make it to London before the close in August, here is your own private view…..

….”its the best selling show..oh oh oh……”
