"Paul Jung is consistency personified. His singular polished style spreads across his fashion photography, music video direction, and even his daily routine. Taking a spin through his work, it’s hard to miss. Sharp lines, minimalist textures, bold colors—Jung applies this kind of practiced and perfected nature to his everyday life."
I found this photographer featured in Need Supply Co.'s blog earlier this week. To be honest, I'm not head over heels for all of his work, but this interview had a gem that has stuck with me.
What’s the perfect portrait?
"The more anonymous the image is, the more powerful it is, as it can convey to more people and more situations. The translation to your own personal world from a suggestion is very powerful. Perhaps this is why perfume or music is so powerful."
Here is a link to the rest of his interview ---> http://blog.needsupply.com/2014/10/19/photography-paul-jung/
And here are some of his photographs that really do interest me. He uses negative space so fucking well.
Elements of openness and subjectivity are what render art so important and interesting, however there is a responsibility that the artist takes on to harness and shape the visual language to express something. This is partially related cliche. The ultimate examples of subjective imagery are what we find inexplicably beautiful, like sunsets, or when sunlight exposes the veins in a leaf. We ask nothing of these things, but instead project onto them. Art fails when we create something with the same effect; a canvas blank enough to allow the viewer to project anything onto it. Or do you think I'm wrong???
