Frank Kappa

ŦᏒΔИƘ ƘΔPPΔ is a combination of perspectives from documentary and advertising photography. It explores the commonalities between the instinct of the image hunter and that of the director. Despite appearing as opposing approaches, there is a thin but real border between them. On one hand, there is the representation of reality inherent in photography, with its aesthetic transgressions and interpretations. On the other hand, there is the staging of a reality, an image intended to be spontaneous, over which only a part is controlled. The text also discusses the choice of the name "Frank Kappa" and its associations with various figures. It mentions the significance of the name, its memorability, and its international sound, as well as its references to music, photography, and cinema. Additionally, it refers to the author's "individual enterprise," which has adopted the logo of the former creative association "La Pieuvre" and specializes in commercial photography, including portrait, architecture, and interior design, as well as artistic, photographic, and graphic direction.
