Photographer Laurent Elie Badessi – An African Summer – Guinea 2023v- Model Binta DIALLO

 

Laurent Elie Badessi, a Franco-American fine art photographer, was born in France into a family with three generations of photographers.
Growing up in this environment allowed him to explore and develop a deep appreciation for the art of photography.

After studying language and communication sciences at Université des Lettres d’Avignon, Badessi pursued a photography course at Université Paris VIII.

Intrigued by the psychological dynamics between a photographer and their subject during a photoshoot, he chose to base his M.A. thesis on this subject.

This led him to spend several months in Niger, Africa, capturing images of isolated tribes that had little to no exposure to photography.
His project garnered significant recognition, including awards such as La Bourse de l’aventure with Fujicolor and the Humanity Photo Award with UNESCO.

Badessi began his career in Paris before expanding his work internationally and eventually relocating to the United States in the early 90s.
Over the course of ten years, he focused on the human figure, culminating in his book « SKIN, » which was internationally released in 2000 by Edition Stemmle.

The book features a foreword by Sondra Gilman, Founder and Chairperson of the photography committee at the Whitney Museum.
