Martin Parr in China

– September 20, 2009

I was lucky enough to introduce my favourite photographer to a gallery I knew in Beijing. Lucky because I could meet him and accompany him for 3/4 days when he was in China. You can browse more information about Martin Parr – english social documentary photographer – here and about the gallery here. I like the portrait I did of him in his own style – the ‘Parr style’. This portrait was published as the cover (of the cultural section) of Time Out Beijing in September 09.

About Eric Leleu

I have been living in China as a photographer for a few years. My brain is obsessed by concepts such as authority, consumerism, capitalism, geopolitics, sociology or urbanity... In a word, I am interested in our contemporaries (you and I) and the world as it becomes.
