Invisible Worlds on view at Blank Wall Gallery

 September 9 -21, 2022

Daniel Franc # Czech Republic


Daniel Franc is an internationally recognized aerial photographer creating fine art photography with his drone, discovering the beauty, energy and new views on the world.

His occupation and love for nature from an early age led him to landscape photography. Since 2017, he has been creating fine art aerial photographs that show the world's hidden beauties. He takes a step beyond landscape photography and explores the world from above by playing with shapes and colors showing us something we cannot see through our current perspective. Many times his photos depict the intervention of man in nature and its negative results. They expose the feelings of the artist, which cannot be expressed in words, but are visible in the images he creates.

For Daniel Franc more often than not, not many words are needed to tell a story. He prefers to let the viewer create his own stories based on the image he sees in front of him. This is also the reason why his photos are untitled. He wants the viewer to give his own title to the image he sees.

He has been the winner of multiple awards, notably 1st and 2nd place in the Minimalist Photo Awards, 3rd place in the IPA One Shot competition, 1st and 2nd place in the Czech Nature photo, 1st place in the Aerial category by the Royal Geographical Society UK and 2nd place in the drone category by the ND Awards. He holds more than 40 other awards and honors in international competitions

Daniel will be in Athens at the opening of the exhibition and will give two talks on drone photography for those interested, on Friday September 9th at 21:00 and Saturday September 10th at 13:00. Will be happy to see you.
