Me, myself, and irene

My photo
Perranporth, Cornwall, United Kingdom
I'm a 17 year old student at Truro college. I've taken a photography course at the college and for part of our third unit we have been told to set up a blog and document our progress throughout the unit. the unit is called 'Play'. It's a Photoshop based unit which basically means the photos i will be uploading will be pictures i have taken and edited in photoshop. I'm interested in a wide range of photography genres such as sport photography, landscape, portrait... the list goes on. However this unit i think i'm going to base the photos i upload around portraiture; comparing photographed portraits to illustrated portraits, landscape photography; by taking lots of different landscape photographs digitaly and on film i hope to be able to compare the two styles,

David Foldvari












































David Foldvari's work often addresses subjects of alienation, identity and belonging; “Dealing with negative issues in my work helps to keep me balanced in real life”. His work has gained international recognition. Influenced by his Eastern European roots his work is taking a more honest and personal direction and returning to its’ fundamental roots. He now lives and works in Brighton, England.






 Foldvari's work Really interests me,  the images above are two of my favourite images from his collection. The first image, "eyeface" is my favourite of the two. I like how out of the ordinary it is and how it catches your eye as soon as you look at it. The second image, "All Cunts" in my opinion comes across with a very strong message. Not only is the main part of the image a swear word, but the word consists of celebrities faces who David Foldvari thinks, are "cunts".
