Alizé Le Maoult
Depuis son plus jeune âge, Alizé est immergée dans la photographie. Sa passion est née avec son père « photographe amateur de talent », qui transformait la salle de bains familiale en labo photo. D’abord, modèle privilégié de celui-ci, c’est le cinéma qui l’enrôle, très jeune, pour faire ses premiers pas devant la caméra.
Après des études de cinéma à New York, Alizé collabore avec des réalisateurs de renom comme Walter Salles, Balthazard Kormakur, Manuel Pradal, Jorge Navas ou encore Elia Suleiman pour le film « Intervention divine » (Prix du jury à Cannes en 2002).
L’année 1995 est une date clef. Le cinéma l’emmène dans la guerre à Sarajevo pour le tournage du film « Le Cercle parfait » d’Ademir Kenovic. Cette expérience professionnelle et émotionnelle intense lui inspirera plus tard, le premier volet de la série de portraits de photographes de guerre « Ce que leurs yeux ont vu / Génération Sarajevo… ». Alizé a étendu ce projet inédit à d’autres photographes de guerre et aux nouvelles générations.
Son travail photographique accompagne sans relâche sa trajectoire cinématographique à travers le monde, elle s’en détache, et tente d’extraire avec la photographie la beauté et la poésie qui nous entoure.
L’être humain, la ville, la nature sont ses terrains d’exploration récurrents et sans frontières. Ses univers visuels se racontent en série : Réconciliation I & II (avec Romain Léna); Pink Shanghai ; Cuba Blues, White Washington, Sérénité, Vibrations…
Alizé a exposé à Paris, Sarajevo, Caen, Meaux et Verdun aussi bien dans des galeries que dans des Musées ou institutions.
Actuellement Alizé Le Maoult expose sa nouvelle série « Nuits éclairées », à la Galerie Myriam Bouagal (Paris) jusqu’au 27 janvier 2018.

Benedicte Kurzen / NOOR Images
Bénédicte Kurzen (born in France in 1980) began her career as an independent photographer in 2003 when she moved to Israel and covered news in the Gaza Strip, Iraq and Lebanon In 2004, she moved from reporting to news to a more documentary approach with a project on female suicide bombers and Palestinian widows in the Gaza Strip. This report is part of a collective project, “Violence against women”, in collaboration with Amnesty International and Médecins Sans Frontières. Bénédicte Kurzen has a master's degree in contemporary history from the Sorbonne, Paris; the subject of his thesis, “The Myth of the War Photographer”, encouraged him to choose the art of visual storytelling as a means of expression. For ten years, she has covered conflicts and socio-economic changes in Africa, and in particular in South Africa where she has documented the challenges facing post-apartheid society, with projects such as "Next of Kin", " The Boers' Last Stand” and “Amaqabane” on the lives of ex-combatants in the anti-apartheid struggle (the latter for the prestigious Joop Swart Masterclass in 2008). In 2011, she received a grant from the Pulitzer Center which allowed her to do a major report on Nigeria: "A Nation Lost to the Gods". His work has been presented at the Visa pour l’Image – Perpignan festival, in screening and in exhibition, and his reportage on Nigeria was nominated for the Visa d’Or in 2012.
In 2012, Bénédicte Kurzen joined the NOOR agency, and decided to settle in Lagos from where she could continue to cover Africa and especially Nigeria. His work resulted in a traveling collective exhibition, “Shine Ur Eye”, with Robin Maddock and Cristina de Middel, presented notably in London and Lagos. At the same time, she teaches journalism at the American University of Nigeria where she is an assistant lecturer.
