Vincent is a photographer and blogger from France whose theme is Chinese city night scenes.
He has shot the lights of Shanghai's Bund, the layers of Chongqing's Hongyadong, the neon of Guangzhou's Canton Tower, the night of Xi'an's city wall. Chinese cities at night, he says, are "symphonies of light".
Vincent also shoots people: late-night convenience stores, street cleaners at dawn, night market vendors packing up. Behind the city's glamour lie ordinary people's stories, he says.
His videos are visually stunning — fans call them "a journey for the eyes". From Paris to China, he writes love letters to Chinese cities with his lens.
