Virtual Prison
In 2017, was the first time I got my hands on a DSLR camera. I worked on architecture and symmetrical photography. I then began to work with professional dancers, still using architecture and symmetry in my photos.
At one point, I decided to make a big change and to create my own environments. So I began to create them in 3D and shot the models in the studio. It allowed me to create anything without boundaries. I also kept creating props out of paper and fabrics and worked on the visual effects. My main work is about geometry, lines, forced perspectives and contrasts. I also aim at dragging the eye of the viewer into the picture either graphically or emotionally and make something unique every time. I never use stock photos and create everything from scratch using hand made props, own photos or 3D modeled elements. I work always alone and do everything by myself.

entry description
This is a conceptual work about geometrical shapes and integration of the subject into the background. It is the combination of a studio shoot mixed with 3D Elements; quite a new world to work on a composite project from the beginning to the end. I placed a 3 point lighting setup with 2 flashes (Godox AD600BM) and stripboxes with grids on the sides for the edges, and a third flash (Godox AD200) with a beauty dish on the top. There are actually 2 pairs of tights over each other to make the legs even longer than the wide angle does. The spikes were done out of paper and Ducttape. And this was shot with a canon 5D mark IV and a Canon EF 16-35mm at 16 mm F7.1, ISO 100, 1/160s. The background is a 3D model and all the shadows and reflections were done in photoshop.

My name is Thomas, also known as “Wohl Photography”. I'm a french photographer and digital artist. My path into the visual arts began about 15 years ago, with graphic design; making flyers and posters mostly for music events. My graphical vision was based on a digital way to use real photos. I also worked on 3D modeling and vectors and never thought about photography as an individual way to express myself.In 2017, was the first time I got my hands on a DSLR camera.
