Between 2016 and 2017, I had the incredible opportunity to live in France, a dream I had long held. When the chance arose, I seized it, and looking back, I can confidently say it was one of the most enriching periods of my life. Living abroad came with its own set of challenges, but it also opened doors to explore my creative passions, particularly in photography. While street photography wasn’t my primary focus before, this experience allowed me to dive deep into the genre. Though I still have much to learn, I’m proud of the foundation I’ve built during this time. Compiling this book was a journey in itself, filled with the challenge of curating my work. I found it difficult to resist the temptation to include landscapes and cityscapes, but ultimately, I focused on the essence of street photography. As you turn the pages, you may notice influences from some of the great masters of this art form. I invite you to play a little guessing game as you enjoy the narrative I’ve crafted. Bon voyage, and welcome to 147 days in France through my eyes.
