Bank of England
One of the functions of the Bank of England is to print banknotes. The British Pound Sterling notes have different features that make them unique. The photography of the notes has been introduced as a part of a wider visual identity project, however, banknotes can be reproduced only following strict regulations. The photos, taken with a macro lens, depict security features, characters, and the beauty of their design. The images have been grouped into 3 categories: groups of notes, details, and abstract.
Bank of England Photography by Matteo Ruisi has been selected as an innovative representation of communication design by the A' Design Awards. Bank of England Photography earned the Bronze A' Design Award in Photography and Photo Manipulation Design in 2022. The A' Photography and Photo Manipulation Design Award is a juried, academic and highly prestigious design award which rewards superior design of portraits, landscapes, still lifes, photojournalism, fashion shots, architectural images, wildlife captures, sports events and more.
