My Zines

Luc Rousseau

"Digital Nomad and Street Photographer, I spend half the year traveling around the world, capturing the essence of urban life through my lens."

05 Gre, Esp, Fra 📘

This zine marks the end of a nine-month journey through Europe. Three final stops to close the loop: Greece, Spain, and France. Each time I set off as a nomad, spending a month at a time in an Airbnb, I tell myself it might be the last time we put so much into travel. So I savore every moment as if it were unique.

As with the earlier stages, the formula proved perfect: working full-time during the week, then using afternoons and evenings to wander, stroll without direction, meet locals, capture street life. Weekends were reserved for more tourist explorations, for discoveries expected and unexpected alike.

Nine months of collecting simple, intense, precious moments. In short, pure happiness.

04 Cai 📘

Egypt has always fascinated me. Ever since I was a kid, I've watched documentaries about this mythical country, though I never really thought I'd go there one day. But since we knew we'd be in Istanbul — relatively close, at least compared to Québec — my partner and I decided to treat ourselves to a real vacation. A week in Egypt felt like the perfect choice.

It was a magnificent trip, with a cruise on the Nile serving as our honeymoon — a nice excuse to indulge in a slightly more luxurious getaway. We truly loved the places steeped in history and that feeling of being transported to another time.

03 Ist 📘

From October 2023 to the end of January 2024, we stayed in Istanbul, Turkey. We spent three fairly quiet months there, like a break before our upcoming vacation in Egypt. When traveling full-time, it’s also good to take some stays in slow travel mode—not rushing everywhere to see everything—because, as fantastic as this lifestyle may be, the pace can become exhausting.

I particularly enjoyed the ferries on the Bosphorus. Whenever I had the chance, I would take a round trip between the two shores.

02 Prt, Hun, Ita 📘

This zine presents a collection of street photography I captured between late July and the end of October 2023, during the first three months of a nine-month, three-part journey. This section spans Portugal, Hungary, and Italy. While the photos aren't in chronological order, they've been carefully paired to harmonize in color and style.

I don't believe in calling it luck-l've made intentional choices to build the life I have. But as I look through this series of photos, I feel a profound sense of fulfillment, joy, and gratitude. I can honestly say I'm living my best life.

01 Mex 📘

During the winter of 2022/2023, I had the privilege of living in Mexico for six wonderful months. While I mainly stayed in Mexico City, I also took short trips to Querétaro, San Miguel de Allende, Taxco, and a few other places.

In this zine, I’ve curated a selection of street photographs that I love and that complement each other well. To see more images from this series, you can visit the gallery on my website.
