I was born in Moscow, Russia, but was always fascinated with traveling and meeting new cultures. After several years in Vienna, Austria, I decided to move to Paris, France, and study professional photography.
Before making this choice I started career in history of art.
These days I work on different long-term projects, mostly concentrated on fine-art and documentary photography.
Camera helps me to observe the world around and to keep in time people, beauty and happy moments.
Born in 1983, Julien Bonnin is a French photographer living in Paris and working between Paris and London
His main field of work is photoreport, starting as a freelance in Paris from 2004-2007, in the dawn of social unrest and the Presidential.
In 2008 he travelled to Palestine, working for an NGO on the field. It shaped his practice, based on the unconventional clash between traditional documentary and discursive paths of fine art or site based installations.
His work explores the codes and the physical nature of Photography as a bearer of Truth, in the scope of new technologies.It analyses the concept of Power and the tensions arising from 'signified' photographs in the midst of mass medias or digital photography.
He graduated with a Ba Photography from the London College of Communication in 2012 and an Ma in Photography from the Royal College of Art in 2016.
Recipient of the Photoworks award and New Bloomberg Contemporaries in 2012 ,he has since exhibited both in Europe and internationally.
Clément Mancini is a French contemporary artist who lives and works in
Paris.
After his studies in graphic arts, he moved to Lyon for 6 years where he
developed a work of murals paintings in which abstraction took more and
more importance.
Close to his graffiti roots and to the energy that emanates from the street,
he seeks to reinterpret in his works this energy mixing balance in compo-
sition and movement, as in the treatment of line and texture.
Now working mainly in his studio, he loves to shake up his painting prac-
tice.and techniques, he describes his work as constantly evolving.
