The selected work includes an on-going work street-photographing Japan as well as a few shots taken in the past few years in London, Paris and Dorset, at the End of the Road Festival.

Special words about the Japan series work:

“This series comes from a deeply personal solo trip to Japan in 2024. As a half-Japanese woman, it was the first time I explored the country on my own. Photography became a way to express feelings I couldn’t put into words. It was a creative and emotional release, and many of these images feel like my most honest work.

Through them, I hope people see Japan through my eyes: its warmth, contrasts, and beauty. It’s familiar to me, yet also foreign, and I like to explore that tension. I want to offer a perspective that is both personal and slightly unconventional.”

Bio:

Noémie Decaen is a French Japanese woman based in London. From a young age, she has had a passion for art, photography, and music. She grew up in Paris, a city that forever resonates within her, and moved to London in 2014. After years of shooting on and off, mostly focusing on travel and portrait photography, she developed an interest in street photography. She seeks the real, the funny, the weird, and the beautiful in the streets, celebrating people and life.

For her, it has always been about sharing, growing, and exchanging with others, and it always will be.
