Tyler Masi 2020


The main questions that guided my sustained investigation were "Why is money so important in todays society?" as well as "What are different ways people make and use their money?". These questions guided me because I wanted to shed light on ways people look at money in ways we may forget or don't think about. Piece #7 is showing a girl who is graduation high school who is unaware of all the money she is about to spend on college with loans and books. This is an example of experimentation with photoshop. Piece #8 is showing a girl who had recently been assaulted by the man next to her. The man is holding money over her mouth to bribe her to "keep her quiet". This is an example of practice with camera technique and studio lighting. Piece #6 is showing a young girl who wastes her money on things like drugs. This is an example of revision because I reshot piece #2 but with better clarity and structure. Piece #4 shows a girl with light shining over her with money all around her. Showing that she is day dreaming of money and wealth.
