We no longer present Samsofy, Sofiane Samlal whose real name is, and LEGO fans have long been used to meeting this talented photographer present at many conventions and exhibitions. Endearing and available character, Samsofy is always ready to share his experiences, to explain his productions and never fails to dialogue with all those who take the trouble to come to meet him.
Samsofy regularly collaborates with many media and, without necessarily knowing it, you have certainly already come across one of his works featuring LEGO characters struggling with the real world on social networks or in one of the magazines that you read regularly.
You will tell me that photographers who use minifigs and put them in a quirky context are legion and you will be right. But Samsofy was able to add in each of these meticulously thought out and prepared photos that extra soul that makes all the difference. he also claims to use photo editing only when it is necessary, for example to remove the support of a levitating minifigure. For everything else, the sets, accessories and lighting get the job done.
It is no longer a question here of contemplating as a simple spectator the know-how of a professional photographer, but of entering the imaginary and quirky world of one who manages to create often funny, sometimes comical or more simply poetic atmospheres. thanks to a few pieces of plastic and a carefully thought out staging. Samsofy understood that it is not enough to take a close-up on a minifigure to provoke emotion.
The title of the recently released book is therefore not usurped. Over the 100 pages of Little world of Samsofy you will be able to discover this imaginary world and each shot should guide you a little further in the meanders of Sofiane's imagination.
At the beginning of the book, Samsofy gives us some manufacturing secrets with a four-page interview. You will discover how the artist creates his own sets, how he obtains or manufactures the essential accessories for certain scenes and what his sometimes tumultuous relationship is with the insects and snakes seen in certain photographs. It's a welcome bonus.
In the end, it is nicely done, the paper is of excellent quality and this beautiful book which brings together the most popular photos of the artist accompanied by a few less known but equally tasty shots would almost deserve to be more ambitious on the format to be able to admire more closely all the details of these scenes.
The Small World of Samsofy - 100 pages - 15.00 € at Omaké Books, on Fnac.com ou at Amazon.
