Picture Perfect Showcasing DIT’s finest photography talent
Welcome to our very first
Hello and welcome to the very first issue of DEnt magazine...
This month’s featured photographer is: Aoife O’Donnell
This mag is a departure from the stale ole entertainment stuff you’ve seen in the past...
Aoife O`Donnell is a Dublin based fashion and music photographer contributing to such magazines as Rogue, Starchild and Synergy. Most recent high profile bands she has photographed include London’s The Rifles and Melbourne’s JET.
No longer will we consider a movie review or two a comprehensive look at the entertainment scene...
Her work focuses primarily on the body with particular emphasis on subjects such as gender, sexual orientation, the grotesque body and the gaze.
Oh no, at DEnt we strive to deliver to you a taste of the freshest, new and upcoming names in the entertainment scene.... But we’re not all about the Johnny-come-latelys here either...
Her most recent fine art body of work entitled Dismantling Bodies The pictures are a series of surreal sculptures using mannequins and various inanimate objects which contain references of human gestures. Others are minimalist images using the mannequins as a metaphor for the human form.
We also give you updates and interviews on what some of the biggests acts are up to right now... This issue we bring you an glimps of what UK charttoppers Kasabian are like ahead of their big gig in the O2 next month... We consider the theatre scene as we hear from actor Alan Standford... And check out Whelan’s most recent offering to the Dublin bandscene The Ghandis... For a look at fashion, photograpy, art, food, music, movies, theatre, culture and more here’s DEnt
