Posted January 23, 2008 Travis Fullerton is an assistant photographer at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts. He has been with the museum for three years, working with chief photographer Katherine Wetzel and photography coordinator Susie Rock to fulfill the imaging needs of the museum. Fullerton has an MFA in photography from Virginia Commonwealth University and currently teaches photography at VCU and at other art centers throughout Richmond. In December of 2005, David Bradley, the vice president for finance and administration of the VMFA Foundation, approached Fullerton about creating a photographic essay of the expansion project for the 2007 VMFA Annual Report. Fullerton had already been working to document the expansion for the museum's archives, and early in 2006 he set about creating images of the construction loosely inspired by the style of 20th-century photojournalist Margaret Bourke-White. Fullerton used a Hasselblad 500C and traditional black-and-white film to create the images. The final prints are traditional gelatin-silver prints and were hand printed in VMFA's darkroom. These six untitled images are also printed in a two-page spread in the 2007 VMFA Annual Report.
