I am a self-taught photographer. After graduating with an Msc in Management in France at EM Lyon, I worked as international sales manager and assistant of the CEO in a photo agency Sipa Press, in Paris. I decided to quit his job in France to become a professional photographer after my first visit to Shanghai in July 2004.
Aside from his commercial work, my personal photography projects focus on social relationships in China's everyday life. You can see some of these works at www.ericleleu.com/personal

I conveyed a market study on hospitalities services in the North of France for the general manager of this first league football club. The idea was to assess whether it would be a profitable investment (a total 7 millions Euros) to invest in an additional VIP lounge inside the Bollaert stadium (40 000 seats) or not. Those VIP seats includes champagne, TVs, lounge and are the opportunity to do business while watching a match.
My study was presented to 4 private banks in order to get the project financed.
100% of the amount was financed by those banks and the VIP lounge was 98% full right the first year.
