Photography for Gunnersbury Park Museum: Set to Stun Exhibition Installation

I spent Halloween photographing monsters… what an ideal job for 31 October! The commission was with Gunnersbury Park Museum, taking installation photographs of their latest exhibition, Set to Stun: Designing & Filming Sci-Fi in West London.

“Beyond the stars and behind the scenes… for nearly a century west London has been home to a hive of workshops and design studios that fed into some of the country’s most iconic Sci-Fi films and TV shows.

Our major new exhibition ‘Set to Stun’ will celebrate sci-fi film and television from the 1960s through to today, turning the camera onto the west London artisans, artists and crafts people who brought it all to life.”

It was lovely to be back at Gunnersbury again and this is a fascinating exhibition with plenty to explore throughout the museum. I particularly enjoyed the alien planet set, the monster portraits by Delamar Academy’s Advanced Prosthetics graduates and the Doctor Who memorabilia that looked like it always belonged in the At Home Gallery.

Below are a few of the photographs of the exhibition, but visit The Gunnersbury Park Museum website to find out more and plan your visit.
