Situations immortalised by him and his camera include the everyday urban life of cities such as Paris or Nice.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By photographing the same paths, the same metro stations and the same streets, at the same time of day, he tries to bring out poetry, singularity and beauty.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>About the artist<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mika Aim was born and grew up in Paris, where he also went to university. Passionate about music, he also studies Jazz, which is reflected in a certain way in his photographs.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A professional web designer, he pursued his career in communication and the web, while remaining close to the professions of visual creation and applied arts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It was only in 2015, encouraged by his family and friends who had noticed his talent, that his career as a professional photographer really began. His Facebook page and his website were rapidly spotted by gallerists and art photography lovers, especially for his Street Photography works, which is the genre of photography that Mika Aim affiliates with. Thanks to the internet, his photographs almost instantly found an audience.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In 2016, Mika Aim was put forward at the Visual Arts Exhibition in Paris, and he has been pursuing artistic collaborations and developing projects around Street Photography since then.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-26473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ife.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/untitled-design.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dev.ife.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/untitled-design.jpg 560w, https:\/\/dev.ife.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/untitled-design-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 560px) 100vw, 560px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Juhan Kuus Docphoto Centre at Telliskivi Creative City will host the exhibition &#8220;Street Instinct&#8221;
