Lucile Chombart de Lauwe

Lucile Chombart de Lauwe is a photographer. A graduate of the École National Supérieure de la Photographie in Arles, she is today based in Paris, where she joined the Bar Floréal photographers’ collective in early 2010. Her work is characterised by a principle of total immersion in the spheres she photographs or in which she is involved. These include SAMU Social (an organisation providing care and medical aid to homeless people), the charity Emmaus, orphanages and disability-related organisations. Her portfolio also includes portraits of the long-term jobless, future victims of redundancy and former miners, and a three-year project in which she explored the world of night workers.
