Legacy+Art specialises in the artistic documentation of artefacts that carry with them both meaning and story.
From personal possessions to objects that have witnessed great events, those that have been instrumental in historic moments or private memories, we use high resolution cameras and techniques to deliver large format fine art prints that reveal with remarkable clarity the marks of history and of lives lived.
Our work however is not about the photography; its strength lies in its ability to act as a portal, to another time, another place, to another person. It can transport us to the heart of an incredible story or an amazing soundtrack, unlocking both treasured memories and our most heartfelt feelings.
We work for both private clients and for international institutions, from a grandfather’s watch or a mother’s necklace, to artefacts that have travelled to the deepest point in the ocean or to the far side of the moon.
We treat every object with the reverence they deserve, allowing each fascinating story to be heard once more.
