Starting his journey in photography in 2004, Brice Gelot used a Canon A-1 to learn film photography with the urge to share stories and show various perspectives and ways of seeing the world.
Gaining a solid reputation for his raw photographic style, Brice Gelot captures the essence of street life through his vision and uses his camera to speak the truth. His work has been featured in magazines and art galleries. His photographs usually reflect the street, graffiti, tattoo culture, gangs, and the dark side of our society. He isn't documenting as an outsider but immersed in this lifestyle himself.
LENS MAGAZINE: It is a pleasure to feature an interview with you, Brice Gelot; we were very impressed by your work. You went deeply into the street culture, being involved and creating trusted relationships with people in these gangs. Can you tell us how it all started? What drew you to photography, and did you grow up in an artistic environment?
