About Bank of England فوٽوگرافي

بئنڪ آف انگلينڊ جي ڪمن مان هڪ ڪم ڪرنسي نوٽ ڇپائڻ آهي. برطانوي پائونڊ سٽرلنگ نوٽن ۾ مختلف خاصيتون آهن جيڪي انهن کي منفرد بڻائين ٿيون. نوٽن جي فوٽوگرافي کي هڪ وسيع بصري سڃاڻپ واري منصوبي جي حصي طور متعارف ڪرايو ويو آهي، جڏهن ته، ڪرنسي نوٽ صرف سخت ضابطن جي پيروي ڪندي ٻيهر تيار ڪري سگهجن ٿا. تصويرون، جيڪي ميڪرو لينس سان ورتيون ويون آهن، حفاظتي خاصيتن، ڪردارن، ۽ انهن جي ڊيزائن جي خوبصورتي کي ظاهر ڪن ٿيون. تصويرن کي 3 درجن ۾ ورهايو ويو آهي: نوٽن جا گروپ، تفصيل، ۽ تجريدي.

Production Technology: The photographic side of the project was shot on an SDLR Canon EOS 5D Mark IV camera using a macro lens EF100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM, pushing its capabilities to the limit.
Using a shallow depth of field and backlighting with black material to create show through on areas of the notes.
Particular care was taken to enhance the detail and colour of each note, without being too obvious. The imagery should reflect each area within the design brand.
Design Challenge: There are several restrictions on the way the Bank of England banknotes can be reproduced. The main challenge was to define a style that showed the beauty of the notes while following the law and the guidelines from the Bank.
Research: The photographic approach was a combination of the photographer's experience and experimentation. The photographer played around with the lighting and pushed the use of the lens to the extreme, manually focusing and moving the notes in front of the lens at close proximity until something interesting happened. The assistant helped press the cable release, adjust the light, or move material around, as most of the time the photographer was manipulating the notes until desired effect was achieved.
Inspiration: The beautiful detail of the notes was inspiration enough, combined with abstract, graphic composition and back lighting, the challenge came in making the notes become more exciting to look at and less obvious.
Project Duration: The project started back in May 2020, before the approval of the wider project. The first day was during lockdown at the photographer's home studio on 30 March 2021. On 7th May some of the angles and variations have been refined. The project covered the 5, 10, and 20 pound notes. The final shoot day was on 20.02.2022 when the photographer shot the new 50 pound note to complete the set.
Abstract moving image formed part of the shoot and this was achieved using the same camera shooting in slow motion.
The entire body of work was shot at the photographer's home studio in Chartham, Kent.
Operation Flow: Images for branded photography can be used on digital and print applications.
