Biography

Well my name is Allan Derras, I live in the 93, I am a photographer and I have been practicing this art for four years now since I entered the Brassaï photography school in the 15th arrondissement of Paris; initially wishing to work in cinema I found myself a real passion for photography; what is great about photography is that it is very accessible so accessible that it has become extremely difficult to stand out, I see it as a very pure way of expressing yourself without jostling the crowds where the word in itself is very controversial nowadays, moreover, don't we say a picture is worth a thousand words; the goal is not only to create a visual pleasant to look at finally that said it depends.
