By guest blogger Kate Elliott

During the current Creative Photography Course at the V&A, designed and led by Kate Elliott, a group of students are working as Museum Photographers, to create a modern-day ‘portrait’ of the V&A.

Through class discussions, practical tasks and exhibition visits, the group are exploring a combination of architectural, portrait, documentary and reportage photography, to develop a collection of images that depict their individual views and interpretations of the building, its inhabitants, and activities and events that take place there.

Last week we shared a selection of photographs showcasing the building. This week we focus on people – the Museum Photographers themselves, along with other staff members, and visitors to the museum.
