As many times before, I’ve been to this year’s Japan Expo in Paris. But this year was a different experience than the ones from the past. I used to go there working as a press photographer/writer for a media, last time was exclusively for BONJOUR IDOL in 2018 and 2019. As you know, COVID-19 pandemic had a very big impact in the entertainment industry including concerts, festivals and big events like Japan Expo as well. I’ve been pretty far from […]
July has been crazy for me! Right after ONE OK ROCK’s concert, I had the opportunity to photograph the solo singer Bang Yongguk during his concert in Paris. Former member, main rapper and leader from the famous Korean band B.A.P, he is now pursuing his solo career in the hip-hop industry. https://youtu.be/ZPoiazkKIpw I am not really used to take photos of solo artists as I was mainly working with groups during the vast majority of my long stay in Japan.

I gladly had the opportunity to be photographer during ONE OK ROCK’s concert in Paris the last July 7th! It was held in the famous venue Elysée Montmartre in Paris, just before their first time ever at the Stade de France for the first part of MUSE’s concert. https://youtu.be/3Fxzu6Jbrww As I was specialized in the pop-culture and Japanese idol when I was photographer in Japan, I didn’t have any opportunities to shoot rock concerts or artists like them. The most […]
It’s been a while since I had the chance to photograph Kyary Pamyu Pamyu. The last time was during Japan Expo 2012 and her solo concert in La Cigale back in 2013. So I had the pleasure and been honoured to take photos at her concert in Paris on June the 5th! https://youtu.be/mAGyQ5Rmz7o As a symbol of the Japanese pop-culture in the world, Kyary Pamyu Pamyu participated to expand the « kawai » fashion style from Harajuku through her music […]
Last time I told you that I was getting back on concert photography with DREAMCATCHER. It is going slowly but I am for sure progressing in the process… This new blog post is here to prove it! I’ve attended to the boysband CIX’s show in Paris on last January 22nd as photographer at the famous Paris concert venue: the Bataclan. https://youtu.be/F89BLizUDSY I don’t listen to KPOP boys groups usually so I didn’t really know them before going to their concert.

It’s been almost three years since I last had the chance to take any concert photography, the last time was in Tokyo in February 2020 – right before the COVID-19 pandemic occurred. I have, however, finally decided after this two-years long break to try getting back into it. And so I’ve started contacting production companies again (mainly pertaining to the music industry and more specifically K-Pop), in order to get accreditations as an independent photographer. And today, I’m really glad […]
