Aun Raza is a French-Pakistani photographer who grew up with a fondness for the arts. Taking pictures for him is a way to peep into life, a way to interpret reality, to tell stories and at times to experience the sheer pleasure of creating images.
Aun's practice combines portraiture, street scenes and melancholic urbanscapes answered in a conversation that he desires long, dense, and often with humour.
He focuses on long-term projects, often focused on cities as living organisms and uses photography as a means of preservation and representation.
