SAID MANSEUR
I am a visual storyteller and photographer from Mascara, Algeria, currently based in Algiers. My work focuses on overlooked social issues, questions of identity, human rights, and the cultural life of Algeria.
Through photography, I am drawn to stories that often remain outside public attention. I use the camera as a way to observe, listen, and understand how people live within changing social and cultural conditions. My practice is shaped by Algerian heritage, but also by a wider interest in memory, belonging, and the human need to be seen.
I am a member of the African Photojournalism Database, and my work has been exhibited internationally, including at Image Festival Amman and Cairo Photo Week. In 2024, I studied at École Kourtrajmé and was officially accredited as an artist-photographer by the National Council of Arts and Letters.
In 2025, I founded the National Photography Salon El Forsan, a platform dedicated to promoting photographic talent and visual culture across Algeria.
