 I went home around spring break to visit and my mom let me know that she was transferring some money in cash, so she would have a couple 100 dollar bills temporarily and wanted to see if I could use them in a photoshoot for fun. This is one of the concepts we came up with. The idea is that with all this money raining from the sky the subject is asleep and too oblivious to tell. I set up the camera on a tripod and lighting. It turned out to be a fun family activity in that my dad clicked the shutter and my mom dropped the bills while I posed. This is composed of about 9 different shots of the money falling. They are blurry because there was ambient light in the room and the money was falling fast enough that the shutter caught some of the motion blur. We never could get the bills to disperse like this so I used a bunch of different photos to get the overall look. I added a texture to give it a rougher feel. I am happy with how it turned out.

Thankfully it wasn't as expensive as it looked. I had 9 exposures to get all of these 100 dollar bills together in one photo.
