Happy Friday - I hope you're able to find beauty wherever you are. This was a really fun photoshoot that I collaborated with a college friend on several years ago in Wichita, Kansas, USA. For many, that's probably a town you've either never heard of before or if you have, that you've never given a second thought to. But it could just as well be Anytown, USA, and perhaps that's the point.

Wichita has grown a lot since my college years when we were making the most of what it provided at the time, but many of the newer 'improvements' have been small, like murals and street art like the one in the background of this image. It was a lot of fun coordinating her outfit with the mural and color tones of other areas in the city.

How many towns have murals or street art that through one simple act of beautification can come to define a small corner of the town or perhaps the town itself? Art matters.

In my street portraits in Vietnam, I wanted to pay tribute to "modern street photography", this photographic culture born in the USA and nourished by modern and committed street photographs from 1935 to 1965. By setting up a black canvas, I wanted to add a new intention to the heart of a lively street in a small Vietnamese town.
The idea of ​​setting up an outdoor photo studio in the streets of this mountain community offered me a unique opportunity to document and celebrate the ethnic diversity of Vietnam. Women, men, old people, artisans, simple passers-by agreed to come and share a moment with this funny European photographer and his lens. A background, an optic, a light source and the authenticity of the subtle art of portraiture. Of the encounter. Of the other.
I loved that these people, from diverse and varied ethnicities, were proud and curious to share their heritage, and that they willingly took part in this photographic experience. Together, we tried to create a photographic initiative that transcends art by having a significant social impact. The art of the street photographer is not so much to be, during a brief moment of eternity, the master of time and space, it is above all to highlight often unknown stories that promote intercultural understanding. Portraits become visual ambassadors of diversity and inclusivity.

How I took this photo ? : Canon 5D Mark IV 50mm F1,4 Art 1/1600e f1,4 Iso 200 Manual Raw
