Boogie Woogie Photography & PhotogStory are pleased to present "Capturing Life: The Photography of Willy Ronis," a solo exhibition by the renowned French photographer at the Loft in Wong Chuk Hang from 16 September to 21 October 2023. The collection is presented together with 18th-century French museum-quality furniture and decorative art displayed by the Kraemer Gallery based in Paris.

Willy Ronis (1910-2009) was a pioneer of humanist photography, a movement that emerged in post-war France, seeking to document the human condition with authenticity and empathy. Inspired by his surroundings, Willy Ronis masterfully captured everyday life's essence with his artistic vision.

Throughout his long and prolific career, Ronis left precious visual memories of France in the twentieth century. Focused on documenting Parisian life and people's joy and sorrow, he developed a unique style characterized by his deep sensitivity and ability to find poetry in the mundane. From the bustling streets of Paris to the intimate moments between lovers, Ronis' images offer a glimpse into the universal human experience.
