Born in 1999, Paloma Laudet studied filmmaking in Morocco. In 2019, she decided to dedicate herself to documentary photography and follow a course at the École des Métiers de l’Information (Émi-cfd) in Paris. She then documented the consequences of European migration policies, notably in Calais and Ceuta, where she worked on the impact of anti-migrant measures on urban planning. In 2022, she won the Bourse du Talent award and exhibited her work at the French Nationale Library. For her, photography is a way to shed light on the social, environmental, and human issues facing our society, to prevent indifference from taking root.

Currently based in Paris, she collaborates with various media in France and abroad—particularly in Africa’s Great Lakes region—including Le Monde, Le Figaro, Libération, Le Temps...

Since 2022 she is a member of Collectif Item.
