Romain Jacquet-Lagrèze, born in Paris in 1987, received his Masters in multimedia and art at the East Paris University where he learned about design and visual arts. His true passion for photography was ignited while working in Los Angelos and Tokyo as a need to record his experience abroad.

When he arrived in Hong Kong at the age of 22 he wanted to send a book about his new home to his mother but was disappointed by the lack of choice so decided to make his own. Stunned by the architectural race to the sky and the three dimensional character of Hong Kong where lifts connect so many people and business they earn a street name, he published his first book with Asia One: ‘Vertical Horizon’ (p. 2012). The work was a hit a on social media and spread like wild fire over the internet, receiving attention from heavy weight local and international press such as SCMP (HK), Herald Tribune (US), National Geographic, Lonely Planet (HK), El Pais (Spain), Figaro (France), Huffington Post (US), The Guardian (UK), Die Welt (Germany) and many more…

Motivated by the international bravo he continued to create new exciting projects exploring Hong Kong’s unique landscape. Wild Concrete (p. 2014) depicts nature’s resilience in an urban environment. The Blue Moment (p. 2016) is a body of work exploring duality of Hong Kong’s nature and urbanity during this magic blue hour at dusk while Concrete Stories (p. 2018) collects a variety of human activities as found on Hong Kong’s rooftops.

Romain is currently a full time artist focusing on evolving his photography. He currently resides with his wife in Hong Kong
