Some images talk for themselves however some need a shorter or longer text to go with them so the viewer can have a better understanding of the artwork. It also helps the artist to share his views and thoughts with the audience.
I thought I’m going to show a couple of my photos that I really like but when I show it to people they don’t really get what the pictures are about at the first time.
I took this photo years ago. It’s a collage really because you can’t see the sky from this point of view in the real place. People didn’t really like this photo, I can probably understand why because it looks like I just painted the sky a bit pink and that’s it...This crescent-shaped arcade is actually one of my most favourite places in the world. It’s in the heart of Budapest on the side of a hill and the view from there is breath-taking. It reminds of Greek mythology, that’s why it got the title: Gate of Heaven.
This one was taken on the side of the river Danube, in Budapest. It was mid December and a very foggy day which was perfect to take some nice photographs. I gave it a kind of a bronze colour, wanted the viewers to think they would travel through the past. That’s why the poster on the top in the photograph is an important part as it’s an old photo in bird’s eye view of the city.
People are different. When publishing work you have to make sure that you are going to show it to the right audience. A simple photograph at the wrong place can cause confusion, although sometimes that is the purpose.
Some text by the work can give meaning to anything...
