Archiving Albums - Technical Setup

Whether they were placed into the albums in a hurry or care was taken in their construction in digitising the family archive I want to preserve the editorial decisions that were made when albums were put together. To just scan the individual photos would seem to miss an opportunity to capture and reflect on the wider story.

To establish a standard way of photographing albums and objects in as flat a light as possible I worked through a few increasingly complex set-ups until I landed on the method I plan to use.
