Antiquities Auction - Sale Catalogue Completed

Timeline Auctions Catalogue March 2012

Specialist Antiquities Auction House - Timeline have just published their sale catalogue for their March 2012 sale.

I've worked with them to photography their wide variety of fascinating lots following their 'house style' guide. Larger items, such as the Indian and Islamic vessels shown (below) have been photographed on a graduated canvas with a fairly standard lighting setup to display the items in three dimensions. However, smaller items such as the jewellery and rings are shot under a unique lighting rig, so that that the delicate detail and colours are accurately reproduced.

The nature of the lots (over 1000 including the specialist coin catalogue), with their fascinating history has made this a really exciting photographic commission. Some of my favorite lots include a fossil dinosaur egg (click here), the swords and armour (click here)  and the lapis jackal amulet (click here)
