Many homeless people live under this bridge.

On August 30th, during the 33rd edition of the International Festival of Photojournalism, Visa pour l'image, in Perpignan, France, I had the pleasure to discover my reportage "L'ombre du Japon" during an evening screening at the Campo Santo. This in front of several thousands of people including a majority of professionals in the business since these evening screenings take place during the professional week of the Festival.

What a great feeling of pride to see your work projected like this during Visa pour l'image!
