Abstract
Artists and businessmen sit on two opposite ends of the career spectrum. On one hand, artists rarely earn a stable and predictable income, and their career centers around creativity, breaking boundaries, and altogether forging their own paths. Businessmen, and specifically risk professionals (bankers, investors, actuaries), work in careers which require the following of rules, and applications of mathematical sciences. At first, they would seem to share nothing in common. This thesis attempts to create a common ground for the two groups through photography, where the subject of each image is risk. Through the medium of photography I attempt to educated artists, risk professionals, and anyone else about the risks which fill our world and about how these risks can be transformed into art.
