Lemuel ChanyungcoPhotographer
Colour-film street photography from around the world. Open a book to browse its photographs, hovering any title to bring the image up on the right. Loose, uncollected pictures sit under Selected Work.
Selected photographs are available as archival pigment prints in limited editions. Write to me with the title of an image for available sizes, editions and prices.
Several of these have appeared as books. Where copies are still available they can be bought from the publisher; others are out of print.
I'm a street photographer, working mainly on colour film. An American of Filipino-Chinese descent, I lived in Manila until I was six and grew up in New York. I've lived in many places since and travel constantly, with my base for now in Luxembourg. My pictures are made wherever I happen to be, drawn to people, animals and the strange, funny and tender accidents of everyday public life.
To date, aside from my own endeavours, I have been featured in and have taken part in the following.
- Group show, “Breakthrough: An Amateur Photography Revolution”, The San Francisco Arts Commission
- Group show, Charlie Horse Gallery
- Solo show of unpublished work, Galerie für Fotografie “Eisfabrik”
- Featured in “FotoKlassik” magazine, issue #1, in an article illustrating the history of the Leica M
- Featured in Gudrun Scholz’ book “No Fat Poetry”, alongside Thomas Demand, Alex Prager, Jörg Sasse, Alec Soth, Josef Sudek, Jürgen Teller, Jeff Wall and Saul Leiter, to name a few
