Great opportunity to check out a variety of presentation styles, while I tended to focus on photographic work it was choice to see other mediums of fine art all in one place! Overall I preferred the simple styles that didn't overpower the images. In terms of size I probably prefer slightly larger works that allow the viewer to be slightly overwhelmed especially if a work has a sense of depth and layers.

The black frame doesn't detract from the image and adds to a sense of cohesion in the image, highlighting the shadows. The large size allows the viewer to see into the detail of the buildings in all of wear and tear.
Would you use this type of presentation for your photography and why?
Yes. It's classic and contemporary. It doesn't take away from the image and the size allows the details in the image to easily be seen by the viewer.
Is there anything you would have done differently?
No.

How does the presentation affect the way you view the work?
The bull dog clips make light of the way in which the image was created using ballpoint pens. It brings you into the work making you look closer and helps to put two and two together.
Would you use this type of presentation for your photography and why?
Ha I used to do this all the time with images I collected. It would be a cheap way to show work but it would depend on what the image was.

How does the presentation affect the way you view the work?
The smaller quality of these works meant the viewer has to move into the image and look closely to see what is going on. The floating images inside the frame mirror the reflective quality of the work.

Would you use this type of presentation for your photography and why?
Yes - although this style seems to suit a series of images placed together and images that focus on a single subject. In terms of the size it probably won't suit the images I am looking at taking for my portfolio.
