Director and chief operator, he has since directed many documentary and advertising films. Among its latest series, a commission from the Grand Palais, on the occasion of the next closure of the monument for works. At the same time, for several years, he has walked the streets of Paris, Leica in hand. He photographs people and looks at them with no bias or judgment. It seeks to capture the invisible in the everyday lives of the people it meets. Each of his photos is connected to a story, a singular moment. In the tradition of humanist photography, Laurent was inspired by the work of Elliott Erwitt, Garry Winogrand and Henri Cartier-Bresson. Far from a journalistic approach, he wanted to document his time. Macadam Paname, the book he presents here, his first, is the culmination of many years of capturing the strangeness of reality in the streets of the capital. Read More Read Less
