Thomas Michael Alleman

Sunshine & Noir: Holga Photographs of Los Angeles and New York

Thomas Michael Alleman uses a plastic camera called a Holga, often referred to as a “toy camera.” The lens is low grade plastic, resulting in a soft focus with heavy vignetting, creating an arty, informal and surreal feel to his photographs. Mr. Alleman was born (1958) and raised in Detroit. After college he began a 15 year career as a newspaper photographer. In 1995, he was named California Newspaper Photographer of the Year by the National Press Photographer’s Association, and in 1996, he was named the Los Angeles Newspaper Photographer of the Year. He is now a magazine freelancer and has been published in many national magazines.

His excellent ink pigment prints are available in three sizes. Images printed on 14 x 14 inch paper sell for $1,000.00. 20 x 20 inch prints sell for $1,200 and 32 x 32 inch prints sell for $1,800. Editions are either 15 or 25. Prices increase as editions sell out. Artist's Statement
