Frank Allias
Franck Allais is self-taught photographer. Originally from France he moved to London 10 years ago. He likes playing with every day things, and bringing them into another context and if possible - making people smile. “I like to question people’s perceptions of objects whose role and function are so often taken for granted.
• Photography allows me to play with the ordinary and present these things in a more unusual environment”., london, United Kingdom

The lighting here is high key, The mood of the lighting is soft.
It’s a simply put picture with only 2 props.
The texture is smooth as its toilet roll.
The angel he has used to photo this image is directly infront .
The focal point for me is on the right of the picture as you are not sure what you are seeing till your eyes focus and you can see it’s a tiny doll.
The scale of the 2 items are totally opposites of each other, little and large.

This is mangle of lines and curves, from the lamps that are positioned sporadically.
I think he has used the lights from the lamps for this image, but you can kind of see an extra light source from the reflections in the chrome lamps…possible a soft box.
The variety of different lamps he has used is creating both unity in the fact they are all lamps but also variety in the different sizes and styles.
The clustered shapes here convey an optical weight to the image.

The composition of this image is centralized and your eye is drawn to how weird the glass looks.
This is a high key shot of the glass and there is a light coming from the left of the glass to highlight it and create some shadow on the right to create form.
There is no real colour in this image as the white background keeps it true to emphasize the cold crisp nature of the water.
