WPY 58 (2022/23), Natural History Museum

Project scope: Fine Art Lightboxes, Quantity 100 Frames
Timeframe: 12 Weeks 

The Wildlife Photographer of the Year (WPY) competition has just under 50,000 entries from 95 countries each year making this the most popular wildlife competition in the world. The exhibition then has the top 100 images on display at the Natural history Museum in London.

We were tasked with creating a fine art style lightbox that looked like a traditional frame, but once backlit would just come to life and take the images on display to another level. This way of displaying the images not only added a refined finish, but the illuminated images made the exhibition a much more immersive experience.

Not only did we have to ensure all the frame materials used came from FSC sources but that the entire frames could be reused the following year. We can up with a unique mounting solution that allowed us to reused the entire frame only discarding the previous years prints.
