Emerging Fashion Photographer Ivan Begala
Since he was boy in Italy, Ivan Begala has been harbouring a dream of becoming a full time photographer. He arrived in Ireland in 2005 and has been working in IT in Cork, but it was only in the past year that Ivan began to truly realise his photography dream - when he bought his first 'professional' camera. He told us “The minute I laid hands on my first professional camera I immediately realized that I wanted to embrace completely this magic world”
Ivan, and those around him, quickly realised that this was perhaps destined to be more than just a hobby and more recently, Ivan has been determined to become a force on the fashion circuit. Over the past three months, Ivan has found himself delving further into the creative wilderness of fashion photography. “I love shooting fashion” Ivan tells us. “I believe it is a challenging area of photography that allows the photographer to play with creativity and also apply all skills with lighting.
He certainly is 'one to watch' in this genre. Ivan generously gave us the imagery from this shoot he did recently on location in Cork City Gaol in Sunday's Well. “This was a perfect location for the mood I wanted to create” he says.
The clothes in this shoot are designed by upcoming designer Ruta Jonauskaite. Ruta participated at Cork Fashion Week 2010 Young Designer Awards last April. She also models in this shoot.
