agence de photojournalisme
Le Journal
Marseille, France
Pierre Belhassen, member of “Agence Le Journal” collective is
based in Marseille (France) and defines himself as a
photographer-author.
The street but more broadly the outside world is an open
playground where he finds a means of expression.
His photography does not document reality but simply seeks to
gaze at others relying on his own instinct in an immediate
proximity with the world surrounding him.
Pierre likes to observe and to explore, to lose the track of time. His
aim is to work on long-term project with analog camera and tell his
stories through photo-books, exhibitions and others mediums. He
considers that it’s extraordinary to have the possibility to
overcome the limits imposed by a long apprenticeship to express
one’s creativity.
Pierre’s work has been published by M magazine for Leica
photography, the photojournalistic review Epic Stories, LFI
magazine among others.
His work has been showed during Voies Off Arles 2016 and
FotoIstanbul 2015 festival. Pierre is finalist of the 2016
LensCulture Street Photography Awards.
