Francois Dourlen Blends Pop Culture Images with Real World Scenarios
Meghan Young — October 7, 2014 — Tech
Francois Dourlen is a French photographer who has found a clever use for his phone; he has created a fantasy photography series that involves juxtaposing pop culture images with real world scenarios. For instance, he loaded the iconic baby Simba still from 'The Lion King' and strategically placed his phone in line with a boulder to continue the image.
Whereas that image from his fantasy photography series is fairly predictable, he executes a few more imaginative ones. Another fantasy photography still involves Thor about to hammer a nail into a piece of wood while Daenerys Targaryen from 'The Game of Thrones' is envisioned as a weather girl. The fantasy photography series is clever, creative and comical.
