Father and son, 2016, China. [Photo provided to chinadaily.com.cn]

The project has also included some Chinese fathers and sons, what kind of people are they? Can you describe the relationship between Chinese fathers and sons from what you've observed during the shooting session?

Before coming to China, I've questioned myself whether Chinese fathers and sons will give themselves in tenderness with abandon. I thought that they might be too modest and the body to body contact would not be as evident as, for example, Brazil. I was surprised to note that the native Chinese men are very different from the Chinese residents in France that I had the chance to shoot. Some took each other in their arms, others kept a certain distance. I experienced, during the photo shootings, certain absoluteness in the bond between the fathers and sons in China.
