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 was highlighted as an innovative example of communication design by the A' Design Award.

The A' Photography and Photo Manipulation Design Award is a highly prestigious international design competition which celebrates superior design of portraits, landscapes, still lifes, photojournalism, fashion shots, architectural images, wildlife captures, sports events and more.
