LAURENT (Loh-rahn)
CHINESE PHOTOGRAPHER IN PARIS, FRANCE
Laurent is an exceptionally talented fashion, portrait, and event photographer in lovely Paris. Most clients would say that what makes him stand out is his patience, ability to give clear directions, and his unique artistic vision.
Born in Compiègne, 80 kilometers from Paris, to a French mother and an ethnically Chinese father, Laurent fell in love with painting at an early age. He considered becoming a designer but eventually studied human sciences in Paris.
His university research took Laurent to China, where he rediscovered his passion for the visual arts and met his lovely wife, Claire.
And this was when Laurent decided that a career in portrait and event photography would be the perfect next step; he has never looked back.
Laurent routinely photographs solo portraits, luxury weddings, couples, celebrities, red-carpet events, and Paris Fashion Week (with official accreditation). His work has been displayed in China, Germany, Italy, and Morocco.

what I love about shooting in pairs
I was born only 80 kilometers from Paris, where I grew up and studied. Paris is one of the most beautiful spots on the planet, with an unequaled combination of romance, fashion, and joie de vivre. As a Parisian photographer who constantly searches for context, believable connection, and photo variety, I feel blessed to do what I’m passionate about for a living.

Relax and forget about the camera so your personality has a chance to shine powerfully.
