Title: Typology
Post by: PhillyPhotographer on March 23, 2008, 11:19:28 pm

I'm working on a large typology and instead of printing and framing individual photographs I decided to print them in groups of 25 on 44" x 44" paper. What do you think ?

What do you think ?

Depends... what kind of 'reception' are you looking for?

Sorry, couldn't resist...

Difficult to judge - much potential detail that can't be seen since your posted image is so tiny.

I think this approach works well for turning subjects like this into the potential for sales / generating interest.

One individual TV aerial does not really make much of a subject for the majority of people, but looking at a whole collection of images is more interesting.

I've seen things like door knobs, car lights, dog collars etc grouped before. I guess it must link to the same reason shops sell more things if the individual things are grouped together.

Thanks for the comments guys. I'm almost done number 3 and started one of the old satellite dishes.
