Photographer Franck Bohbot, born in France and living in New York, shoots public spaces with a keen eye for the cinematic. His explorations of deserted cinemas, parks and more often than not desolate Manhattan streets are balanced between fiction and documentary. The following series was shot in Atlantic City with its beachfront amusements, snow cones, funnel cake and salt water taffy. Set in a saturated twilight overwhelmed by neon, his photos take a trip through the memory lane of family seaside vacations.

Franck Bohbot was born in Longjumeau in 1980. He began his career as a set photographer. Since 2008, the artist has dedicated his artistic research to urban landscapes. Bohbot is particularly interested in relationships between individuals and architecture. He photographs public areas bare of any human presence. He adopts a frontal perspective and highlights quasi-perfect symmetry. These places then become unusual and captivating sociologically as well as aesthetically.
