My Story

My name is Bertrand Renaud. I am a French photographer who settled in Hong Kong in 2012, and I immediately fell in love with the city's colorful streets, dramatic skylines, and stunning natural landscapes. After more than a decade here, Hong Kong is now the place I am proud to call home.

I arrived with a fresh pair of eyes, seeing beauty and details that might be invisible to those who've lived here all their lives. Through my lens, I tell the stories of this fascinating region: the neon-lit alleyways of Mong Kok, the misty peaks of Lantau Island, the quiet rituals of daily life that make South China so endlessly photogenic.

Fond of new discoveries, travels occasionally bring me to different geographies which I depict through limited photographies series. From the towering canadian rockies to the majestic dunes of Oman, discover my dedicated travel galleries

My Philosophy

I'm an eternal optimist. I believe that beauty exists all around us — it's simply a matter of being open to it. Through my photography, I strive to preserve this beauty, creating living memories of the places and people that shape our journeys. My work is a celebration of life in its purest form.

Why Fine Art Prints?

A photograph deserves to live beyond a screen. Every print in the PeakLight Chronicles collection is produced using museum-quality archival materials — from 250gsm matte paper to premium acrylic and hand-finished frames. I want each piece to feel like it belongs in a gallery, because in your home, it is one.

I ship worldwide from Hong Kong, and every order is carefully packaged to arrive in perfect condition.
