The impermanence of things
Cédric Roux
Cédric Roux, a photographer with a passion for urban scenes, has embarked on a fascinating project in Istanbul. This city, rich in history and diversity, was a source of inspiration from his very first trip. Marked by the energy it exuded, he decided to return to capture the hectic life and multiple stories unfolding around every corner. Through his lens, he captures fleeting moments, transforming everyday life into a series of striking images. Guided by the light, Cédric wanders the streets of Istanbul, drawn by textures, colors and people. He seeks harmony by composing with everything the city has to offer. Light plays a central role in his work, each shot a search for the perfect balance between the elements present.
Every photographer needs to find his own camera. I found mine with the Leica Q3.

The Leica Q : a powerful ally
Cedric Roux doesn't show many images of his work, but each one stands out for its precise framing and visual impact. The photography is thoughtful, with the shutter release anticipating the movements of the subjects, and the dynamics of the foreground, background and background that freeze in the moment. True to his approach, Cedric Roux takes a back seat to the scene, rendering it with balance and precision.
Equipped with a Leica Q since 2017, he has found, with the Q range, the body that suits him and is best suited to his practice.
With the 28 mm, all these stories are told before my eyes. It's a discreet camera. I move forward unseen, right in the middle of the action.

Biography
Cedric Roux is an acclaimed, award-winning photographer whose work has been exhibited many times, and who wants us to spend more time reading his images than his biography. Nevertheless, it's worth taking a closer look at his background. Self-taught, he lives photography as a passion, drawing on the great authors - especially American - to strengthen his view of the world. His photographic work has long been associated with street photography and New York. However, as time goes by, he gradually shifts his own boundaries, exploring new territories, new photographic approaches and developing an interest in narrative.
