BIoGRAPHY
Pascal Bastien graduated from the Strasbourg Ecole des Ars Décoratifs in 1992. During his military service, he started documenting his daily life through photography and then turned to more personal projects focused on society and the world around him. He traveled to many Eastern European countries and started working for newspapers such as Libération, La Croix and Nova Magazine. Concomitantly, he worked as artistic director in publishing and communication. From 2000 on, he chose to dedicate himself solely to photography and joined the Editing agency. In 2007 he joined Fedephoto, which later became Divergence-images. Today he works as a photojournalist (The New York Times, le Monde M, l’Obs, Die Zeit, De Standaard, Courrier Internationnal) and author. Through these activities, he explores a poetic narration of our daily existences.
