"Shadow Museum is a house of ideas. Ideas in the form of shadows await to be realised; each project is a fruit of creativity and becomes an honoured exhibit in the halls of Shadow Museum."

Shadow Museum was founded in 2007 by Benjamin C. M. Backhouse and Ana-Lorraine Lui. They met while studying Fine Art at Central Saint Martins College of Art & Design, London. Sharing a taste for the refined (and sometimes decadent), they aspire to offer a boutique creative service that combines the innovative energy of St. Martinian forward thinking and the attentive sophistication inspired by the legacy of British tailoring.

The combined talents of Benjamin & Ana-Lorraine enable Shadow Museum to offer a comprehensive range of services - from graphic and web design to photography and filmmaking. They aim to offer one-stop creative solutions to a wide range of clients, from individuals, charities, small businesses, to large corporations.

The duo’s privileged and unconventional background in Fine Art sets them apart. Artists are like magicians, able to turn the mundane into the extraordinary. Wherever possible they create everything from scratch, and strive to approach each project with a fresh perspective while being mindful of the latest trends and technology.

Both of them are practising artists alongside their commercial endeavour. Benjamin’s nocturnal, existentialist photographs explore the isolation of the psyche. In 2008 his work was featured in The Shape Of Things To Come, an exhibition held by the University of the Arts International Collection, showcasing selected top talents that have graduated in the past five years from the university's six colleges.

Ana-Lorraine's multimedia practice ranges from photography, video, installation and live performance. Her work captures the essence of temporal experience - what she christens 'the poetic image' - imagery that seduces, penetrates, and lingers in the viewer's mind. She had her first solo show while studying at St Martins and continues to exhibit regularly.
