About Antoine Leven

Photography has the ability to question and change our representations. A first step in changing our behaviors.

6 years ago I resumed my lifelong interest in photography, by focusing on landscape. This was accompanied by a return to full and medium format film photography, both in color and black and white. As I move towards documentary photography, leveraging all the capabilities of the digital medum, I maintain a more poetic than didactic approach, while trying to instill a more accomplished narrative style.

Generally speaking, my work falls within what is called post-documentary photography, as it “refers to a poetic or ambiguous style whose meaning or message is not overdetermined” (The Post-Documentary Photographers Who Care about the World, Aperture.org, April 30, 2021, Lucy McKeon).
