Kazuha Imura

Kazuha Imura started taking photographs especially her self-portraits at age 16. She devised a special way of drawing by scratching surface of her prints by a safety pin in 2003. Since then she has kept making her works in that way. Scratchings make her prints original and unique. Her rich imagination spreads out on her self-portraits.

interesting method. I've seen that used before though. My art teacher in school showed us a few pictures where some of her photogrophy friends did the same thing. Then she went on to say that some of them no longer had fingerprints cause of the acids they used during production, as well as blockprinting methods.

Well, I didn't think it was novel, but I can't recall seeing it done before..

And I didn't know you can burn off your fingerprints like that. Yikes.

These are lovely! I may have to try this.
Also, I just love Irina Ionesco's work. You have wonderful taste, miss.
