He is an American born French photographer whom started in fashion photography and moved into street photography because he disliked the staged element of fashion photography.
He liked the idea of 'accidental photography' and used a wide angle lens so that he can capture everything that was going on in the frame. He did this even though he captured motion blur and other elements that critics thought made his photography unrefined.
He published his first book in France which was called 'New York'. It had to be published in Europe because the critics in America did not agree with his style and thought it was uneducated. He then went on the photograph: Rome, Tokyo, Moscow and Paris.
