AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Miss Italy in Senegal, on Gorée Island
José Nicolas is a French photographer and war correspondent, born in Casablanca in 1956.
His career is particularly marked by war photojournalism and humanitarian reporting:
• He began photography in the field, notably in Lebanon, then worked with Médecins du Monde alongside Bernard Kouchner
• He then joined Sipa Press and covered for about a dozen years numerous conflicts: Lebanon, Afghanistan, Chad, Liberia, Romania, Bosnia, Somalia, etc.
• In 1994, he was seriously wounded in Rwanda during Operation Turquoise.
• Since then, his work has gradually shifted toward more personal subjects: Provence, landscapes, nature, portraits and the memory of his reporting, often on film and in black and white
• He has also published several books, including French Doctors, Les hommes des roseaux, Cambodia and On est ce que l'on regarde. He received in 2024 the SAIF / Benoît Schaeffer Award for photographic editing at Visa pour l’Image.
Seller's Story
“L’œil du Douard” is dedicated to all lovers of photography.
This site offers prints from my personal collection featuring renowned "signatures", as well as prints entrusted to me by collectors for private sale. The proofs are mostly printed manually and using the silver process.
In 2019, with the creation of the Atelier/Galerie Taylor in Paris, I extend another way of the medium. Transmit, accompany and promote the work of photographers who are dear to me, both from the 20th century and more contemporary.
The images offered here touch me, challenge me, sometimes question, often inspire. Thank you to all those who have nourished my life path with their precious presence and support over the years and tomorrow!
This site is a tribute to photographers and their work.
