CORE SKILLS: Lens

Ahn Jun.

Ahn Jun is an artist from South Korea who did a series of self portraits in 2011-2012, I first stumbled across her on tumblr, and saw the post had a link to her website. I find her works interesting in the way she photographs herself, she almost makes it as though she isn't the main focus of the work, it is her AND her surroundings. I like this idea as I am using the theme of identity and I believe that the world around us influences our own identity and how we see ourselves. I think that the way she never shows her entire face is really beautiful especially when looking at her photos you feel like you know so much about her, just not her face. I really like the colour palette she uses, they are calming and the vivid violet colour she wears stands out, but not too much, it looks really well put together and you can tell she thought about all aspects of these works for a good time even though they come across effortless.
