“Dear Life” Exhibition: Harnessing the Power of Visual Storytelling
Themed around “Dear Life,” OPPO organized an exhibition at Paris Photo to showcase the winning entries from the imagine IF Photography Awards 2024 alongside the company's official sample photos. The exhibition invites visitors on a deeply personal journey through four zones—Dear World, Dear Time, Dear Friend, and Dear Me—each capturing the beauty of life’s fleeting moments. Through these immersive sections, visitors embark on a heartfelt journey celebrating life, friendship, time, and self-reflection, with all images captured on OPPO smartphones.
Additionally, to tie these evocative stories together, OPPO presented its annual photography film Dear Life, a visual journey which evokes echoes in minds with the grandeur of nature, fleeting moments of life, the warmth of friendship, as well as inner exploration.
“Beyond the Image, Beyond Imagination.” The images presented by OPPO at Paris Photo 2024 go beyond an exhibition; they are snapshots of people's lives, embodying emotional resonance and human traces left in the universe. By encouraging its users worldwide to unlock the potential of mobile photography and inviting them to capture the most delightful moments of their “Dear Life,” OPPO strives to inspire people everywhere to see the world through a new lens—one that values creativity, diversity, and the beauty of everyday life.
