The idea behind shooting from roofs is also getting a new perspective on our own environment for a better understanding of it. Indeed, since I live in China I see my own culture from a new prism and it’s blooming my mind. I like this idea of seeing the things differently, it can be applied in our personal life, it’s make our own vision wider, it’s help to understand things and people deeper. I remember once, I bring a friend to a roof in Paris, just on side of the Seine river, close to « La Conciergerie » and « Notre Dame de Paris ». This friend spent his entire life in Paris and once he discovered the view he was completely amazed and told me: «thank you so much Sylvain, it’s a very nice gift you give to me, you making me re discovering my own city, it’s incredible».
Roofs help me to be physically higher but also to remind me this importance of comprehending life from different angles.
