Thomas Allen photography
Photographer Thomas Allen has caught my eye.
According to his press release …
“Allen’s photographs are inspired by his childhood experiences with pop-up books and View-Masters. He begins his process by cutting figures and images out of illustrated pages of old books and vintage fiction novels. Allen then cleverly rearranges and juxtaposes the forms to create three-dimensional scenes. Next, he carefully lights his subjects and photographs the scenes.
The work combines the humor of children’s pop-up books, the nostalgia of dime novels, and the drama of the stage. Allen’s inventive and evocative photographs capture characters and events in mid-action. And the viewer is left to wonder what will happen next.”
