My name is Benoit Girardot, I am a French citizen.
I instantly fell in love with Taiwan when I landed in Taipei 10 years ago for a mission as a marketing manager, and my heart has stayed here ever since.
I started to take pictures in the streets of Taipei while learning Chinese to get to know Taiwanese people better, mostly at night after my work.
During those sessions, together with my friend and mentor Hubert Kilian, I met and exchanged with lots of people, many of whom had incredible stories to share, and I have been deeply moved by what I saw and heard – it became one of the most memorable life experiences I ever had.
Photography is a (somewhat incomplete) way for me to share the feeling of those nights in Taipei, and I am still searching for better ways to share this experience that spanned over around 5 years of intensive photo shooting and night sessions.
