Steve Bisson

Hi! I am Steve, a professional in the field of photography and visual arts, with a background as a curator, art director, and educator.

I’m a “mestizo,” as they say—Venetian on my father’s side, with a French surname that dates back to Napoleon’s campaigns, and a soldier from around Montpellier. My mother was born in Belgium to a Dutch family. My grandfather from Hoboken, New Jersey, on the Hudson River. I grew up a bit here and there; I currently live in Paris.

I have known the world before smartphones, computers, and the internet. Before low-cost flights. The backseat of my father's car was my window. Studies pushed me to embrace complexity, a quite observation. A gaze that "touches," that dares in some way, that strives to forge a connection.

I spent the past 20 years questioning the role of images in society.
