People and Darkness of Wellington by Night
April 06, 2018
French photographer Cédric Ih has just released a new series where with great pleasure we find again the nocturnal atmosphere full of cinematographic potential that makes his artistic signature. Captured in Wellington, New Zealand during a recent trip, the pictures offer us a touristic immersion unlike any other.
«During my trip, I wanted to capture portraits, the city lights, the streets, the ferry, and also presenting the locals, expatriates, travellers. There also is a self-portrait hiding in this series», he says. Always captivating, his photographs give us the impression to get involved with him in eternal wanderings during the moonlight.

Photographs Between Lights And Shadows
January 22, 2023
French photographer and film director Cédric Ih returns with a new series. Once again, it explores the endless poetic and visual possibilities of nightlife. For this project, soberly called «Tunnel», the artist catches our attention by playing with a tunnel’s lights and shadows. His photographs succeed to highlight various emotions in the face, and through the bodies of his models.
«The experience was to select five different people, a dancer (Laurène Estocq), an actress (Sonia Joubert), an actor (Loïc Djani), a model (Justine Drew) as well as a sports coach and blogger (Thomas Jiang) in order to capture how everyone takes ownership of a common place on the Quai des Tuileries in Paris», he explains.

Strangers’ Shapes Captured In The Streets Of Paris
December 22, 2017
For a few years now, the French director Cedric Ih has been photographing strangers in the streets and public spaces. He realized the aesthetic potential of these stolen photos, decided to name this series «Silhouettes», and currently works on this project on a regular basis. What interests him above all is the poetic and almost imperceptible link that exists between the models’ spontaneity and his intrusion into their world and intimacy.
It’s also more difficult technically because he has to use a suitable lens to shoot from a distance, and he explains that it’s rare to find a good street lighting. «I must capture the perfect moment when a person stands under a light, providing a workable background for me to subtly catch an impromptu instant, that’s why I always keep my camera with me, you never know!», he says.

October 28, 2016
Ben est parisien, trentenaire, et surtout, célibataire. Il noie son existence dans l’alcool et les conquêtes. Ça fait longtemps qu’il a perdu le fil, oubliant visages et prénoms, ne comptant plus que par dizaines. Sans s’en rendre compte, un peu par hasard, Ben est devenu l’archétype du « connard ».
