Evaluation.

To evaluate this project, i did really enjoy making these set ups and taking photos in the studio. I appreciated it when we got to use all the professional equipment and enjoyed the quick results with photography. 

To explore and experiment, I used  a sync lead, product table, hot shoot, snoot light and a soft box. I used different surfaces to shoot of also such as a product table, metal sheets and just white surface.

My research gave me the inspiration to start this project. I heard about  Penelope Umbrico in a lecture and thought the layout of her work would fit great with my money idea. I liked that fact she had used ready-mades but made them her own by the presentation. Instead of completely going off her idea i decided to use my own pictures and use quite a few different layouts and set-ups. 

To present my final pieces i would love them to be presented on a wooden background with aryclic running over the top to frame it and use old rusty bolts to hold it together. I  would like this because that is just how i see them being best presented, I work with different textures and materials and combining them together just makes a project harmonize for me. framing it with acrylic instead of glass makes it more durable and wearable, its not as delicate and doesn't always stay presteen which means it can make its own aging trademarks with time passed, just like money does. 

The context of my work is between photojournalism and editorial. My work does come wits  arise as I've only just found out your not really meant to photograph money and i know the risks but I've don't this work now and i can't change it. A TV program me i would aspire to be on would be channel fours  Dispatches, they talk about risky subjects and document everyday things. My work would also fit in with being descaled in a newspaper article or magazine such as a finance paper or the Art Review magazine. 

The one thing I didn't feel very confident in with this project is that my work didn't really turn out how i would of liked and i had a different vision in my head where they would be all the same kind of photo and then have different way of presenting them, different positions, colours and layout and then all aliened together to make new hole piece. But after doing my photo shoots some of the photos just didn't work together, either because of the size, or because some were portrait and landscape. In the end some of my final photos looked great on their own and so i just choose to keep them as singles.
