Unit Two.

This is an attempt at Penelope's photo series resembling the worth of something and, in this one, how changing that item can change the worth of it. Such as changing the face of our royal queen can make it almost comical and not so serious and royal. I wanted to portray how much is the pound really worth in such times as today? Because some people have expressed views as it wing quite comical in this time of the 'double dip' recession. I like to be quite cocky nd vocal about how i feel about things and wanted a contivertial spin on my photographs and for them to be questioned and to some, to amuse. 

I wanted this set up because it looks professional, has more an effect than one photo each and has kind of a timeline feel to it or a flick book effect. 

I wanted this to be like a stement piece and just to show the subject matter, so white background and wide boarders worked best for this, sort of framing it. 

 I like it anyway. think it looks well set out and professional, just a shame about the lighting and some of the photos have dark corners where i must of caught the camera. 

Statement of intent for Unit two.

Context of my work

Mine would be....commecial like advertising documentaries on the TV like channel 4. serious documentaries about money. Called Dispactches.
Editorisrial or journalism.

For this project of meetings and connections i have decided to show how we meet and connect with pretty much everything but when shown in a different way how we value those things more than just as they are. How the setting or presentation of an item can change the value of it.

Ispiration grew from an artists i heard in a lecture called Penelope Umbrico who does series of photography, i loved how she took other peoples work and named them her own, she works in a way which gives a familiar taste as a dada artists in the ready-made category. She uses others photographs which imply memories or just to present an item for sale and put them all together and makes them look completely different and takes the context and well.. the point out of the photograph.

Ive taken from her work, her layout, her ready-made sense and her ways of change, but using my own style by adding or taking value from the item, whereas she is taking the use, the point or the story from it.
