He is regularly leading cultural, historical and architectural walks around Shanghai as well as lecturing about the city, the Taiwanese aborigines or Chinese arts for the Royal Asiatic Society China, the Shanghai Expatriate Association, Shanghai Accueil - the French speaking club in Shanghai -, leaders and staff of international companies.

Mathias is a French photographer living in Shanghai for 13 years. His photography works focus on shapes, let them be human, architectural, or landscapes. His passion for architecture was the trigger for his interest in Shanghai, starting with the obvious, the modern city that we all come to hear about from outside of China then delving deeper into the local streets. Discovering the Shanghai created a hundred years ago might be uninspiring from the outside but reveals treasures once you get to pass the front gate. That's what he loves to show to visitors, his biggest pleasure being their surprised looks.
