Catalog 

Rudko’s Catalog is a series of images that examine photography’s ability to add value and worth to otherwise useless objects. Using candy colored backdrops and studio lighting equipment, ordinary garbage is recycled into visual delicacies, presenting the photograph as more valuable than the subject that occupies it
