Workshop
Photographing artefacts by one method
A workshop in the PHOTARCH method, held at your museum or institution. Two versions of the same programme: one for those who do not work as photographers but want to take good pictures — and one for photographers who want consistent, comparable results.
The workshop is built first and foremost for smaller archaeological artefacts. The demonstration covers objects up to 20 cm on their longest side.

Who is it for?
Two versions, one core
Both versions follow the same programme. The version for non-photographers opens with a block on the fundamentals, so that everyone shares an understanding of what is discussed later.
01
Novice photographers
For you who do not work as a photographer but need to photograph artefacts well.
- Length
- Four hours
- Group size
- Up to 8 participants
- Price
- 15,000 SEK + travel
- Equipment
- The practical part is adapted to simpler equipment — a phone, for instance.
02
Pro photographers
For photographers who want uniform, comparable images across a whole collection.
- Length
- Three hours
- Group size
- Up to 6 participants
- Price
- 15,000 SEK + travel
- Equipment
- The practical part uses full frame or medium format.
Travel is added to every booking as a single item: transport at cost, plus compensation for travel time.
The programme
What we go through
Intro
- Introduction — Daniel introduces himself
- Participant introductions — who you are and how you work today
Basics
This block is only part of the version for non-photographers. It is there so that everyone stands on the same ground before the method is discussed.
- Camera types: medium format / 35 mm / APS-C / Micro 4/3 / phone
- The Holy Trinity: aperture, shutter, ISO
- Mode: Auto, A, S, program and manual
- Details: Resolution, lenses, minimum focus distance, sharpness
- Examples of different kinds of results
Method
- History: from Thomsen to today
- Standards: which ones exist
- PHOTARCH: the background to three governing principles
- The shadow: strength, angle and background
- Metadata
- File formats and licences
Practice
- Artefact photography: colour profile, temperature and neutral grey
- Exposure and shooting demonstration: overhead and diagonal views
- Post-processing and workflow: Lightroom or Capture One, focus stacking, file formats and metadata
- Practice with your own equipment
The setup
What the room has to hold
This is the setup we work around. What is needed is a space where we can gather around the camera during the demonstration, and a power outlet within reach — the rest is brought along.
