During my internship in the Imaging department at The Art Institute of Chicago, I was given the opportunity to photograph and post-process images of museum shop products and art objects. From these experiences, I learned how to properly light these works in the photography studio and edit non-destructively, adhering to FADGI guidelines (https://www.digitizationguidelines.gov/).
This internship occurred through June 2024 to August 2024.
