Jeanne Taris; Gestes Gitans Perpignan - Kuala Lumpur International Photo Awards, Winner 3rd prize Theme
Jeanne Taris is a French photojournalist based in Perpignan, France. Her career has taken off since 2015 when she signed up for a LEICA workshop. She was encouraged to show her work. And then began a second life as a photojournalist, who loves an immersive approach, with her spending weeks and months devoted to a subject.
From the Ivory Coast to the Gitan quarter of Perpignan, each shot captures a moment, frozen in time, from a larger panorama, to intimate portraits which have become distinctive over the years. Her photographs have been exhibited on numerous occasions and published in Sud-Ouest, Polka#39, 6Mois#16, Vice, The Washington Post, LFI Magazine#7.
In July 2018, she carried off the Leica International Portfolio Award at the Festival Voies Off in Arles.
Her 2019 accolades have included Kuala Lumpur International Photo Awards, Maghreb Photography Awards, Invitée d'honneur journées du reportage 2019, Cuba Libre, Copenhagen Photo Festival, Finaliste des photographies de l’année - APPPF plus more with her work in exhibitions in Malaysia, Italy, Arles 2019 and Nuit De La Photo, Lausanne.
We are delighted to share this work in New Zealand, exclusively at the Auckland Festival of Photography, and with the support of the French Embassy, this talented French photojournalist will be in attendance for the 2020 Festival in Auckland. Tres bon! Merci beaucoup.
