Short Summary
Hello there,
My name is Chris Fernandez. I am a 24 year old photographer based in Edinburgh, Scotland.
My project will act as a commentary on the 'wrong man in the wrong place at the wrong time' genre. Ranging from the likes of North by Northwest to Die Hard, I hope to parody the idea of the Hollywood Every-man; substituting a more contemporary Scottish Every-man in place of the traditional handsome leading male. At the same time, I hope to pay tribute to the style and aesthetics of US and world cinema alike.
I have been working on this project for the best part of a year, not including the planning, and am currently looking for completion funding to put on exhibitions in Edinburgh, London and Oslo. So far, I have funded the project myself, but looking for a little help printing images, improving PR and renting the exhibition space.
With any luck, this project will help me establish myself within the field of fine art photography, and ideally; help me find work as a cinematographer.

Funding would really help launch my career and reputation, both locally and internationally. Again, I am looking to exhibit in Edinburgh, London and Oslo.
What We Need & What You Get
In terms of funding, I am looking to raise £500. This will be spent on printing images for the show; printing out flyers and raising public awareness as to when and where the exhibition will be held; as well as paying for the exhibition space. Even then, I will be putting up a lot of money myself.
In exchange for funding, I will be more than happy to send out a copy of any requested prints. I have added a couple of raw images from the project to my page. The complete collection will be updated to my website: www.christopherfernandez.com after the exhibition. Please have a look.
The Impact
The inspiration of this project comes down to my love of film, as well as the success I had with similar, film-style images;
