About

Freelance photographer since 2016, Thomas Morel-Fort works mainly on long term documentary projects.

Before devoting himself to photography, he studied at the Institut National Supérieur des Arts du Spectacle (INSAS) in Brussels and at the Sorbonne (degree in philosophy) and the Sorbonne Nouvelle (degree in cinema).

For this investigation, he was hired undercover as a domestic worker alongside Donna, immersing himself for more than a month in the villa of a rich Libyan family on the French Riviera. The Camille Lepage Prize received at Visa in 2019 enabled him to travel to the Philippines to follow the families of the women he met in France.

In 2020, he graduate of the Le Manoir training course for journalists in conflict zones at the Bayeux Festival of War Correspondents

While continuing to cover the news (Rohingya crisis, yellow vests movement, conflict in Ukraine) in collaboration with Axelle de Russé, with whom he founded LE HUBLOT (jazz musicians composing on photographs), he begins a work on the world of culture with a large format camera.

 

This project is the winner of the national order of the BNF, Radioscopie de la France.
