Stéphane Duroy started out as a press photographer, but gradually freed himself from the constraints of his profession to become a photographer of the world, attentive to the fragility of human beings and the upheavals of history. His rigorously framed images are powerful and sensitive at the same time: they bear witness to a deeply empathetic eye, but without illusions.
What he photographs, at heart, is man in his relationship with the world: man confronting history, man confronting the violence of reality, but also man persisting in living in spite of it all. His work is organized around three main themes: the human condition, the impact of history on this condition, and, when history becomes unbearable, flight, exile.
