Marc riboud: Oriental Impression

Marc Riboud, a famous French photographer, was born in Lyon, France. From the age of 14, when his father gave him a Kodak camera, marc riboud had an indissoluble bond with photography.

In January, 1957, I came to China and started a five-month trip. I observed and recorded many historical events here, which gave people a strong shock with silent photos. Since then, he has visited China several times and observed and recorded some historical events in China. Three Flags of China, 4 Years' Photos of China and Tomorrow's Shanghai have been published successively. As a bystander and a stranger, he left many precious visual documents for China in great changes.

my understanding of the world. It is a great pleasure to find rhyme and rhythm in my lens. My photos can reflect different reasons. I'm not sorry. If we don't dream of changing our life, how sad it will become!
