Issam Larkat

Born in 1996, I’m an Algerian photographer, and a
sociology licensed from the University of my hometown
Relizane. I’m interested in the documentary aspects of photography,
and aims to portray with my photographs the details of the relations between places, humans and their beliefs, characteristics, social status and causes and their relationship to spaces and how they shape it! I developed my visual language throughout my love for cinema at young
age, capturing a mix of my background information with what I see and lives on daily basis inside different cities of my country, and I considers photography as a medium to give a peaceful fight to the injustice of the modern world and give a voice to the unheard important life causes…
I received a couples of scholarships later on by respectable companies
such as VII Photo, Nikon-Noor Academy, and screen arts school and worked with couple of media platforms such as ZAM Magazine and Truth in Photography, Hapax and did some contributions to upcoming curators for different exhibitions around the world...
