Interview with Laurence Bouchard

This month we spoke with an English photographer who lives in Tokyo, Laurence Bouchard. Laurence makes images that are very much about shapes, patterns, and light.

While he believes in trying out different kinds of camera gear, many of his images were taken with an iPhone and they are stunning! In fact, he was named Mobiography’s Photographer of the Year in 2021. His secret? Laurence takes light seriously. Watch the video interview below to find out how he scouts out locations and tracks the light to get his shots. No doubt you’ll gain a few takeaways that can help you improve your own street photography.

Laurence Bouchard

Laurence Bouchard is a Tokyo based street photographer from the U.K. He moved to Tokyo in 2009 and this sparked his interest in photography. Initially he was using just his iPhone for photography and this led to Apple selecting him to represent Tokyo for their iPhone 7 campaign in 2017. The ‘Shot on iPhone 7’ campaign enlisted a group of photographers around the world to capture life from ‘dusk til dawn’ using the low-light camera on the iPhone 7. The resulting photos were displayed on billboards in 25 countries around the world. After the iPhone 7 campaign, Laurence invested in a Sony digital camera but continues to shoot with both cameras interchangeably. In 2017 & 2018 Laurence won the Street Photography category in the Mobile Photography Awards. In 2020 he won the Flickr x Fujifilm 'Shine a light' competition and in 2021 he was announced as Mobiography's Photographer of the year 2021.
