Q STREET
102 street photos with Leica Q
My quotidian with my Leica Q
The street is the absolute of everyday life. In an increasingly digital world, it is where reality comes to life. The street is the circulatory system of all the cities of the world, where people of all ages, origins or living conditions mix and circulate. What guides my gaze is the research for those fleeting moments through which I manage to reconcile virtuality and reality.
My street photography aspires neither to journalism nor documentaries. The result of my quest leads to resolutely graphic images, sometimes bordering on the abstract. But the people photographed are the main characters of their everyday lives, strong enough to leave their mark on the urban geometry of their environment.
The street is a movie set where ordinary people become stars. I am just a spectator walking around with my camera.
Here's my quotidian with my Leica Q.

About me
Born in China to a photographer father, I established myself in France in 2002 and embarked on a long career as a multimedia designer and motion designer at a Parisian communication agency. The years spent in solitude in front of a screen inspired in me a vital need to immerse myself in street life to restore a balance between reality and the virtual world. This is the essence of my project "Street Colour and Shadows," which was the subject of a book published in China in 2017. Furthermore, I have been recognized with awards in Europe, Asia, and the United States, and my images have been featured in numerous publications.
