<strong>STYLE</strong> <strong>STAGE</strong> CELEBRITY JUDGE PROFILE Fashion Photographer http://franzszony.com #franzszony My name is Franz Szony, and I am but a boy who paints with his camera. I approach photography from an illustrator’s perspective. Although my technique is more modern than my aesthetic, I deem to create a wondrous illusion that is photo-real. This way, the viewer can believe the illustration (no matter how fantastical) actually exists. I blend my Neoteric perspective with my devotion to the Rococo, in essence this becomes my mantra to create a lush world that is ambiguous in character. An image that is unclassifiable in time or place with a celebration of the androgynous. My combination of traditional theatrical tricks together with digital illustration techniques create the illusion of a painting, even though the image is actually a photograph. I do believe in beauty, but I also believe in the intention and thought behind that beauty. In my work the imagery is seductive, but the feeling will encourage you to understand the story. Much of my work is inspired by my dreams. The worlds and characters I’ve dreamt have influenced both minute details as well as entire works of art...visually and emotionally. The diary I keep next to my bed has been filled with sketches over the years. Most people think that when we are asleep, we are unconscious. However, many studies show that we are more conscious when we sleep than when we are awake. If so, I can’t help but think our dreams to be more real and truthful than the physical world. If you can respond to the beauty, look deeper for the feeling, then go even further, you can find the “space between your thoughts.” My intention is to inspire the viewer into this state of mind. If I can propel the onlooker into a transcendental daydream, my magic has worked. To elicit a response to an image requires a good subject and an even greater photographer with a vision to share. How do you judge what makes a good photograph? Art is subjective. What gives the photographer an artistic eye? Franz Szony grew up in Nevada. As the son of a casino manager, he watched all the shows that came to town. The show’s costumes clearly have affected his work. He enrolled in art classes at the age of five and the legend was born. Lucky for us at an early age, Franz realized that he was destined to be an artist. He immersed himself in the craft by studying the history of photography and the techniques of other photographers then perfected his own style that would set him apart. Coming into his own over the years has had its ups and downs but he never lost sight of his path. He has no regrets and thinks the word “regret” should be banned. With the closing of Szony’s first show in Los Angeles, and after he finished perfume ads for fashion designer, Furne One, I wanted to know more about Szony’s path and how he perfected his “artistic eye”. I like to think of my photography in the terms of fashion. My fine art photography is my couture, and customercommissions are my ready to wear. However sometimes these cross paths, and my customer commissions want the fine art, this is almost always in the form of advertisements. My fine art photography (like couture) is my vision completely; it represents the fantasy and the unattainable. 20 JAN 2014 | http://fashionfacesmag.com
