About

 

François Aubret is a French minimalist photographer currently living in Paris. His work is a documentation of geometries he comes across in urban environments. Like a graphic designer, he composes architecture, urban elements and nature into vibrant photographic designs. Despite the sameness of our modern cityscapes, François reveals the hidden beauty and humour found in them.
