I decided to print ten photos at A1. I settled on printing ten photos as I felt that this represented the idea of mental health well enough without the work getting repetitive. I didn’t want to weaken the work by producing to many images as I felt with this project it was about what each singular image represented rather than the quantity of them.
I ideally wanted to print the images A0, however due to budget this was an unrealistic idea. For me the images needed to be big in order to create impact. I said from the start of the project that I wanted to highlight the issue of mental health and make people take note which I felt I have achieved more so by creating large prints which people can’t ignore.
The photos will be trimmed to remove the white boarders so that the viewer can fully focus and be drawn into what is happening within the photo. I will also mount the photos on to foam so they become more sturdy and look more professional.
