Capturing the Aluminium Aircraft Sculptures of Robert Millis
Explore a unique collection of aluminium aircraft sculptures crafted by aerospace engineer Robert Millis. This portfolio showcases the intricate detail and dynamic forms of his miniature aerial combat scenes, brought vividly to life through professional three-dimensional artwork photography.
Each sculpture was photographed with two distinct styles: against blue sky backdrops, to evoke a sense of flight and dynamic energy, and on black velvet surfaces, giving the impression of museum or gallery exhibition, highlighting the reflective surfaces and metallic textures of the aluminium. These choices were carefully considered to capture the depth, light, and character of each piece.
Through this collection, you can see the technical and artistic challenges of photographing reflective three-dimensional artwork, demonstrating the photographer’s expertise in capturing complex surfaces and intricate forms.
With thanks to Robert Millis for kind permission to feature his sculptures in this gallery.
