Burma… Youth 2012

Last February I spent a couple of weeks in Burma (Myanmar) primarily to shoot a story on the younger Burmese generation for a French magazine. That was my re-connection with this country in which I did not put foot for 15 years (except for a trip on the border with China near Ruili in 2005). I really enjoy my trip and in fact was surprised to see that the country is not as backward as the rest of the world seems to see it. It makes me believe that the country will adapt very fast with the rest of the developing world. Young Burmese are undoubtedly a force to take into account in this process… Below is a slideshow of some of the shooting I did during that trip in Yangon and Mandalay.
