Evergon

Evergon, photographer, abandoned his birth name at the beginning of his professional career. Famous for his use of an extensive range of traditional and innovative photographic techniques. These range from exploration of long-neglected historical printing techniques through his pioneering use of colour photocopying, Polaroid photography and holography. Evergon focuses more on the process and exploration of the imagination an imagery used rather then just documenting. Through his staging of models and exotic props or by means of collaged images, Evergon has creates work resembling more the traditions of European painting than the conventions of photography.
Supprisingly Evergon as a person is alot different from what i imagened. I watched this video on him:
Profile of an artist- Evergon which i got to see how contrasting he is to what i imagened just by seeing his work.  I like his use of symbolism in his work, and im also intreaged by his use of a HUGE (room sized) polaroid camera!  His work often uses animals and human mix, and his work is very Controversial expesherly his work with high levels of bondage. However, this is what i like about his work. The intensitity and the feeling of being trapped. The sercumming to something, such as to be bound.  Sadly it is hard to find imagery of his online without paying the £30 odd for his cataloge. However i do love from what i have seen of his work. Maybe i could look into the feeling of being tied down.
