for those of you who read Harpers magazine from time to time, you've probably noticed that it often has some of the most amazing artwork inside. in fact, we (adam and i) have a tendancy to cut out and pin up random imagery from this mag, a lot of which is just too sweet to leave buried in the pages. a while back, adam showed me a copy of his latest Harpers and pointed out some of the most playful and intriguing studio photography that i've seen. the clippings have remained posted in our kitchen for the past year and its taken me until now to get the artists name and check out his potfolio in full.
his name is Thomas Allen and his work is largely inspired by his childhood and the objects that held his interest; view-masters and pop-up books. who doesnt love view-masters and pop-up books? anyway, here are some examples of his amazing photography:
i just love these. such a great idea...
