Antoine Martin is a French photographer born in 1997 and based in the Paris region.
His work deals with stories that aren't necessarily stories at first glance, on the border between involvement and distant observation, in the simplicity of the real and the depth of the imaginary.
For his "Miami, not the Beach" series, begun in 2018, he photographs Miami's working-class neighborhoods with flashs, capturing outdoor scenes just as though intimate scenes were revealed to the public eye.
He also works on documentary projects for institutions and NGOs. In 2024, he documented the socio-economic situation in the Central African Republic through the actions of Triangle Humanitaire and Première Urgence International, for an exhibition in Bangui, Lyon and Paris in collaboration with the French Agence of Development. In 2023, he won the SUAVES call for tenders from Sorbonne University in Paris, alongside five other photographers, including Guillaume Herbaut. This project aims to show "science in the making" and will culminate in a five-year touring exhibition in France and abroad.
He won the Peleyre prize at the Quinzaine de l'image 2024 for "Miami, not the Beach" and the public prize at the Grand Photoreportage Paris Match in 2019.
At the same time, he is reflecting on the world of photography, producing a program on photojournalism with the Injam production agency.
