Thomas Fotomas
There is a story behind each photo imprinted on us all. Behind them are my photo reports on the beach. I move following the tide, the subjects, and the light that inspire me. I walk a lot to position myself properly as the framing is very important. The lines represent the temporal and physical movements in which we move.
Thomas Fotomas hails from the southwest of France. So it's hardly surprising that his main source of inspiration for his photos is...the beach and surfing! Trained as a graphic designer and passionate about images of all kinds, especially cinema, it was through photography that he chose to express himself in 2010: "Photography is the most accessible way to sample every moment of life and give it a personal touch," he explains. Through his photos, he aims above all to express emotion. Mixing photography and digital painting with the stylus of his graphic tablet. His renderings are reminiscent of long exposure times, creating an illusion. He gives life to singular, original works that stand in stark contrast to the usual beach photos, with their bold, assertive colors and characteristic linear movement.
