FlorianlaunetteIn 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.
