Thomas Allen is a guru!

This is brilliant work.  I am so into photographic dioramas.  I did an add campaign, years ago with David LaChappelle...that was all based on this idea of photographing miniatures made out of paper.  Peep the most complete updated assortment of his work.

This work is epic. American photographer Thomas Allen constructs witty and clever dioramas using figures cut from the covers of old pulp paperbacks. Using salacious pulp art drawing’s of the ’40s and ’50s that covered books such as ” I Married a Dead Man” and ” Marihuana Girl’, Allen constructs one set of pictures up close while obscuring another, and in the process creates a different context. Each piece is given a brand new storyline, though never quite strays from their cheeky origins.
