Dear Kira,

You may remember that Stacey Rain Strickler, Senior Photographer at the Getty Museum gave a paper on recording highly fugitive early prints at the 2015 conference. She may have some guidelines on sensitivity. I have an e-mail address if you want to apply to me privately (for data protection reasons).

Yours, Colin.

Hi all,

I was wondering if any of you have a document outlining the risk to a painting/drawing being exposed to flash light?

Anything along those lines would be helpful.

Many thanks,
Kira

Kira,

This is the work done on flash by the National Gallery. It is over 20 years old but still holds true today.

All the best, Colin.

Subject: Re: Risk Assessment, Flash Light Exposure

I've always felt this was a failure to understand that intensity x time equals exposure - with the exposure being the important bit. The conclusion being that within reason flash exposure was not a real issue.
Waiting for everyone to say I'm wrong now!

Best wishes
Paul

No Paul. You've pretty much summed it up. There is a little more to it but in general allowing flash photography, unless continually by the public, is usually the safest way to record cultural heritage objects.

Colin.

Hi Paul, Hi Colin,

I appreciate what you are saying, but I would like to give the client as much reassurance as possible, no matter how minimal the actual impact, hence the question.

Thanks,
Kira

Kira,

I think it would be best to refer your client to David Saunders conclusion in the paper from 1995 for reassurance.

All the best, Colin.

Hi Kira

Nice article by Terry T. Schaeffer for The Getty Conservation Institute that I think should answer your question very well (admittedly it is 212 pages long!)
I've uploaded it to dropbox here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/rwph47g6lccawmg/effectsoflightonmaterialsincollections.pdf?dl=0

Whenever I'm describing flash I normally say that my camera is set to f7.1 at 100th of a second and the flash power is set to match that, which means the light from the flashes is about as bright as a pretty sunny summer day, but it's effectively like you're only exposing your object to that sunny summer light for a fraction of a second. Obviously this is a simplification, but I think it can help when explaining to non-photographers. Xenon flashtubes produce a pretty lovely smooth spectral output so are often less damaging than exposing an object to a poorer quality light source that might have a pretty spikey spectral output.

Hope that helps

Best
Andrew
