FocusOn 1.66: Jean Claude Luong aka @fotomaniak on Instagram
Instagram is a great creative world for talented people.
Instagramers.com wants to help you to discover surprising and sometimes unkown users. People addicted to Instagram, telling us about their lives, revealing their passions and sharing Instagram tips.
Today we feature Jean Claude Luong (@fotomaniak on Instagram)! Jean Claude is from Marseille.
“Instagram is a place for artistic expression .”
First of all, I would like to thank the wonderful team of the Igers’s blog for interviewing me and highlighting someone as unique as me…
.
“I’m JC aka @fotomaniak, from the planet Marseille! I’m the ManIGer of @IgersMarseille (Marseille is in the south of France) and I’m co-working with @phonesthesiste, @ladybirdy and @manoush_ka. I’ve been involved in this project for almost a year now and I still get a lot pleasure and joy. I try to unite the Instagramers through our common passion: the Mobile Photography !
.
My main motivation is to exchange and to share, or simply said: Live! What better city than “Marseille, European Capital of Culture 2013” to organize exhibitions (Phil Gonzalez still remembers it, huh?), instameets, instawalks etc?
It is far from over, because I reserve a great expo for our followers at the end of the year in Marseille and another one for IgersFrance and IgersSuisse communities in Geneva for next summer 2014!
Please join us, you are all welcome!!

Thank you very much Jean Claude, for your contribution to this website!
