Alban Lécuyer is a French photographer based in Nantes. He’s a member of Picturetank agency since 2017.
He is a graduate of the Lille Journalism School (ESJ). His first feature, “Downtown Corrida”, was awarded the SFR Jeunes Talents Circulation(s) prize (Paris, 2011). Since 2012, with his work Here Soon, he’s looking at the various ways a city disappears: symbolic disappearances, urban redevelopment, urbicide attempts during times of war or negation of the collective memory of a place.
He was the winner of the Talent MAP-EDF Bazacle prize (Toulouse, 2014) and joint winner of the Maison Blanche prize (Marseille, 2016). He published a monograph, “Coming Shortly: Sarajevo” (Intervalles Éditions, Paris), and won the Coup de cœur - Réponses Photo prize at the Montpellier Rencontres photographiques for his series The Grand Opening of Phnom Penh.
