Director
Allan Dransfield (b. 1981, Yorkshire, UK) is a photographer, designer and visual artist based in Łódź, Poland. Working across Europe and China for over a decade with brands such as Fiat, Volvo and Renault Trucks, his background in automotive design runs alongside a broader exploration of what connects life around the planet. Collecting fragments of the world—images, sounds, objects and responses—he reworks them into new narratives, revealing patterns in everyday life, celebrating the overlooked and shifting perception from micro to macro and back again. Shaped by collaboration, curiosity and coincidence, his projects unfold across disciplines without fixed boundaries.
