Grand Award Winner Aylin Argun

It is pretty difficult to express with words how I felt happy and honoured when I heard of the results of 2013 GoPix Awards. It would cross my mind that I would get the 1. place of category. However getting the Grand Winner Award became a great surprise and a huge happiness for me. I realized that works of high quality and high artistic value were awarded when I searched for the results of the competitions which were organized by TZIPAC last year. The reason behind my wish to join this competition was to try myself in such a significant platform, and the result became a great honour for me. I took

this photograph with my iPhone4 camera through using self-timer; putting a palm shell on my face as a mask which I found during my walk in a Mediterranean coastal town. It was quite a spontaneous shoot. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Maskâ&#x20AC;? reminds me of paganism and of the people who live in primitive tribes as a part of nature. I like the feel of timelessness that the photograph offers, as well.

© Aylin Argun I’ve been working on iPhone photography and I edit my photographs via iPhone applications for over three years. Along with black&white photography works, I have been working on painterly photography with an emphasis on auto/ biography. In fact, life itself as a whole and human nature are my fountains of inspiration. In addition to this, nature, songs, books, experiences and dreams, metaphysical world and subconscious are my interests which make me ponder. The ways of human beings, especially of women, and of animals to struggle for life, their ways of existence despite all the difficulties attract my attention very much. Besides, I have highly simple Black & White photographs, painterly and fictional works

in my portfolio, as well. I like to combine photography with painting, to control the colours and to create a new world on that photograph. The important issue for both is that they tell a story. Sometimes, it begins with a topic which occupies my mind. Then, I fictionalize the issues in my mind and turn them into photograph. Other times, the photos I have taken direct and help me on this process, and so do the materials collected from the nature: trees, clouds, the sea, plants, flowers, which I frequently use in my works. I do not like to use somebody else’s visuals. I prefer to shoot and create on my own. And the monochrome photos that I just turned into Black & White and did not edit at all… I just let them rest so that they can tell the story themselves.
