François Trézin is a Still Life Photographer (product, creative still life, interior) based in Shanghai since 2007.
When he was a little child, François (frfr) was breaking all his toys to create new ones with random pieces. Other than that he was a lovely blond boy eating peaches with a fork and a knife, very quiet and even a bit shy.
He started photography at 9 when his father bought him a flashy camera for his first travel abroad. Since then he shoots like crazy. He is very picky with details and obsessed by objects. This can be very troublesome for people living around, but for still life photography it is essential. "Because the objects talk to me and inspire me", that is the reason why he chose still life photography and enjoys it.
He is shooting regularly for magazines such as ELLE decoration China, Modern Weekly, The Outlook Magazine, Lohas among others; and for advertising catalogs (HP, Mark Fairwhale, Jack Walk).
He recently received the first prize for his portfolio at Caochangdi Photospring Festival (partnership with Les Rencontres d'Arles). His current personal work "Drawer Story" is published in the October issue of China Life Magazine.
His personal work has been exhibited in France (Angle gallery in St-Paul-3-chateaux, Le Lieu Unique in Nantes and Le Luxy in Ivry-sur-Seine, his work "Shanghai Parks" in currently exhibiting in Chaumont-sur-Loire castle), in Japan (Agra), and in China (AM art space in Shanghai, Zendai MoMa in Shanghai, TS1 gallery in Beijing 798).
Le jeune photographe François Trézin, qui vit à Shangai, se consacre à l'exploration de l'univers végétal. Ses recherches, très personnelles, mêlent souvenirs, imaginaire et éléments de son quotidien. La série « Shanghai Parks » (novembre 2008) s'inscrit dans cette ligne, où le doute et les interrogations surgissent. L'identité, l'appartenance, l'origine sont au centre de ces images. Il présente à Chaumont-sur-Loire une série sur les jardins publics de Shanghai, empreinte de mystère et de nostalgie....
