KITOFOTO

Born in 1987, I spent my entire childhood in the eastern suburbs of the beautiful city of Paris, in the town of Montreuil. From Cambodian parents with Chinese heritage, I had the chance to grow up in an social environment and in a time when multiculturalism was the norm.

As far as I can remember I was a shy and introverted child. I prefer to observe my surroundings, the people and situations rather than taking part in this life-size drama such as an invisible and silent spectator fearing to disrupt the flow of these scenes where these unknown protagonists intertwine, tear each other apart, mix all together in a harmonious cacophony. It is quite natural that my passion was declared for photography and more broadly for the image. Besides, the website you are visiting right now has been coded with my own hands.

It is especially after obtaining a degree in finance and accounting, taking a sabbatical year and several trips, meeting with people from all over the world that my passion for photography has been confirmed. This desire to capture these precious moments has become a desire to make this passion my job. Subsequently and for an educational purpose, I spent 5 years in this huge territory with sumptuous landscapes and rich culture that is China.

I am currently back in France to relax with my friends and family and to prepare one of my life projects, a world tour in a van. So I would be able to link my taste of travel and encounters with my enthusiasm for photography.
