FRONT Only in LA Fr anz Szony TAKING PHOTOGRAPHY AND FASHION TO UNEXPECTED PLACES HOW DO YOU DEFINE YOURSELF, PHOTOGRAPHER, ARTIST, FINE-ART PHOTOGRAPHER, TABLEAU-IST? I have a difficult time labeling what it is I do, can I say yes to all of the above? I’d like to identify simply as an “artist” although I know this word has become somewhat vague... especially in a city like Los Angeles. Ultimately I’m a storyteller, and use photography to illustrate. I studied illustration before becoming a photographer, so I still calculate my photography work as if it was being illustrated. YOUR SELF PORTRAIT (PICTURED) DRAWS INSPIRATION FROM VIKTOR +ROLF, TELL US WHAT INSPIRED YOU... Viktor and Ralph are incredible designers - I’ve admired them for years for their striking silhouettes and concepts. They recently created an instagram contest which asked participants to draw inspiration from their current collection ( structural frame/ canvas dresses that can hang on the wall when not being worn). I took inspiration from this as well as past seasons, and put my own spin on it. What I especially love that Viktor and Ralp’s designs speak as strong from far as they do close. They’re so bold and architectural that the viewer doesn’t lose details even if seen from a distance. I used an old frame encrusted with Swarovski crystal and a piece of red nylon. Those two ingredients made it quite easy to be avant guard. 32 The LA FASHION MAGAZINE CAN YOU SPEAK ABOUT YOUR OTHER PROJECTS? DISNEY, ETC. I’ve spent the last couple months working on a few personal pieces. I’m currently finishing a piece of art entitled “Worlds Apart” with the beautiful Shaun Ross as the main figure. I’ve also been proposing ideas to Disney and have met with several heads of their fine art department. I’ve long been inspired by Disney, as well as Marc Davis, who was one of the brilliant conceptualizer for Disneyland. He had an uncanny approach to humor and glamour, something I truly admire. Should I get the honor of working with Disney, I will create interpretations of some of my favorite visuals and characters. FASHION CLEARLY HAS A ROLE IN YOUR VISION, WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON FASHION THESE DAYS? Fashion and costuming play a huge part in the work I create, as well as my personal life. I love clothing. We get these wonderful physical bodies on this Earth to express ourselves with... and fashion allows us to treat our physical identity as something transient and ever-evolving. I’m happy to see that fashion is becoming less about trends and gender “norms”. They’ve always been a ridiculous concept for me... especially in clothing, so I’m happy to see WILL YOU BE MOVING INTO FILM ANY TIME IN THE FUTURE? I’ve done several small art films, mostly they are heightened looks at the making of my pieces of art. I would absolutely love to translate my photography into the realm of music video or feature film. That being said, I still love the challenge of creating a full story with high detail into one singular photograph. When a viewer can get lost in one of my photographs the same way they would in a film, that is what I strive to create.
