ABOUT
Roman Jehanno
is a photographer, director, and concept maker based in Paris.
Born in 1986, trained at GOBELINS (class of 2008), and recipient of the Hasselblad Masters award in 2014.
He develops long-term projects, often structured as series or autonomous cycles, where the image serves as a tool for narration, inventory, or tension.
His work alternates between photographic series, documentary films, and conceptual frameworks. Among them: Savoir-Faire, a portrait series of men and women in their working environments; SÁMIS, a film and photographic corpus created within an Indigenous community in Northern Europe; Leftover Lives, a speculative narrative built around anonymous vernacular photographs; Alternative Irreality, an experiment exposing the cultural appropriation enacted by generative AI.
This alternation of forms is part of a consistent approach: documenting what endures, questioning what fades, and seeking—through images—a precise relationship to authenticity, memory, and human presence.
His work has been published in National Geographic Traveler, The Washington Post, Réponses Photo, and exhibited in France and internationally.
