French photographer Lauren chehere does not use Photoshop to hide the flaws of his own work. A talented photomontage allows the buildings that the Frenchman loves to photograph, literally soar into the skies. The result of the work of a bright master was an unusual photo cycle Flying Houses.
We have already written about French photographers who manage to find the fantastic in everyday reality: such as Dani Darzac and Vincent Favre. The photographs taken by their colleague Scheie are surreal and believable at the same time. The French photographer is inspired by the suburbs of his capital. It is easy to find small original buildings near Paris, erected in the 19th - early 20th centuries. It is these houses, along with clotheslines and wires, that fly up into the air in Sheye's fantastic works.
Scheie began his artistic career in advertising: he managed to collaborate with Audi and Nike. However, one fine day the photographer decisively broke with all employers and decided to plunge into "pure creativity". This is how the first photographic cycles of Sheye were born: the Frenchman traveled half the world, from China to Latin America, but eventually found inspiration near his home.
Sheye's photographs look like nothing more than amusing entertainment, but art critics take them quite seriously. Exhibitions of the Frenchman's works have already taken place in several major museums in France and the United States. A photographer who hides in his own fictional world and escapes from the metropolis in search of a breath of fresh air is the ideal hero of our time, with its bustle and frenzied information flow.
