Feng Liu Chicago | Feng Liu Street Photography

It was my first time that I went to the Robert Doisneau photography exhibition in Singapore in 1996. I was shocked to look his photographs which I never saw this kind of photography before and I didn't understand it then. I remember I always took pictures of still subjects and had no idea what street photography was. This exhibition totally changed my view of photography. I learned that true photography should connect to real life. I was very impressed by French treated Robert Doisneau as a national treasure during the exhibition which was held by Alliance Française de Singapour. After the exhibition I learned there are Henri Cartier-Bresson and others... Robert Doisneau and Henri Cartier-Bresson opened a brand new photography world to me. In the past 25 years, I have always been inspired by the creations of Robert Doisneau and Henri Cartier-Bresson. Their photography had a profound impact on me.
