Mounting Consideration

For my Final Major Project initially I thought about having the two images separately, with possibly an inch apart but still next to each other. However, when thinking about my concept I realised that the two images compliment each other and they are so closely linked, that having them almost as one photograph would make more sense. I want the viewer to associate the subjects face with the landscape and understand how the two images entwine conceptually.
I have decided to print my images A1 on Permajet Oyster paper and mount them on to MDF wood, the reason I printed the images bigger was because I hoped with it being larger the audience would connect more with the theme of empowerment and strong emotions. I wanted the audience to feel over whelmed by the models expression and the dramatic landscapes, and I felt having the images bigger connected with this intention.  The reason I have chosen MDF wood is because I don't want the audience to be distracted by glass or frames, I just wanted the main focus point to be the images and the ideas behind them.
To mount them on to the MDF wood, first of all I had to sand down the edges and paint them white. The next step was using the hot press machine to glue the prints to the wood. The hot pressing machine has to be 90 degrees to go ahead. Once finished I put a glossy seal over the top to enhance the blacks of my image.
Overall, I was really pleased with the choice of using MDF wood as well as the size choice of my images I think it connected well with my original concept.
