Brice Gelot

Brice Gelot is a French born, award-winning photographer who has built a strong reputation for his raw and evocative photography. Self-taught and specializing in photojournalism, he immerses himself in the heart of street culture and the tattoo community, capturing the unfiltered essence of urban life.

With a sharp and uncompromising lens, Gelot’s photography is a testament to the realities of street life. His main objective is to document the struggles and resilience of those living on society’s fringes — he has photographed gang members, the homeless, and individuals battling addiction. He does not merely capture moments; he tells stories that humanize his subjects, offering a raw and honest portrayal of their lives. Through his distinct vision, he strives to challenge societal perceptions, encouraging viewers to look beyond the surface and recognize the strength, pain, and perseverance of those who navigate these harsh realities daily.
"Brice Gelot’s photography serves as a bridge between worlds, offering a voice to the voiceless and compelling audiences to engage with the raw and often uncomfortable realities of modern society."
For Gelot, photography is more than an art form—it is a tool for social change. His work is driven by the belief that images have the power to spark dialogue, shift perspectives, and bring attention to the most pressing issues of our time. By shedding light on poverty, street violence, humanitarian crises, social justice, and human rights, he seeks not only to raise awareness but also to foster a deeper understanding of these complex realities. His goal is to break down stereotypes, dismantle prejudices, and encourage meaningful conversations that inspire empathy and action.

Through his relentless pursuit of truth and authenticity, Brice Gelot’s photography serves as a bridge between worlds, offering a voice to the voiceless and compelling audiences to engage with the raw and often uncomfortable realities of modern society.
