Light My Fire
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
Painting fire with light was the idea behind this photo. For this first series, I wanted to go back to photography and light painting techniques. I used a strong flashlight (800 lumens) in order to lighten the curves of the body in a motion and a strobe with a yellow gel and a snoot from the top. The flashlight gives the motion blur on the arm but it’s still sharp on the face due to the strobe. Shot at 16mm, F22, 6sec. ISO 50.about the photographer
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.
