Dorian François is based in Paris. Since 2005, he has travelled extensively throughout Asia where he has been working on numerous long-term projects. François’s intense desire to travel has become firmly linked to a need to share his stories through the medium of photography and writing, wherein the notion of time is the principle element.
His work on the Indian island of “Majuli” has been shown at several galleries in Paris, the Phnom Penh Photo Festival, the Delhi Photo Festival and at India Art Fair 2017. His Mongolian work “Ulan Bator” was shown at the Angkor Photo Festival in Siem Reap, and short-listed twice for the Bourse du Talent Award. He is actually designing and self-publishing a series of ten books called "Short-Stories".
His latest series "Solitudes", a shortlisted portfolio for the prestigious Prix Roger Pic, has been exhibited during the Paris Month of Photography Festival in 2017 by galerie baudoin lebon at Museum of Art and History in Saint-Denis. A book was published in a limited edition byt Les éditions du silence : a box-set of five leporellos.
