Petite a’patite is a photography cooperative based in Taipei, Taiwan. Founded by Chen-Pang Chang and You-Jia Chen on 13 Feb 2026, a month after our trip to Paris France, the cooperative seeks to capture important and fleeting moments in the mundane and poetic ways.

Une petite apatite, meaning “little apatite stone” in French, is a little gem stone acquired during our stay in Paris. Later, we found out ‘apatite’ originally meant apátē — deceit, fraud, illusion in Greek. We liked the idea that illusion seems like a constant in our pursuit of truth. Inspired by this little stone, we borrowed its name for our cooperative and hope to remind ourselves, through our own creative potential, to seek the greater truth.
