    Freelance Journalist

    Louis Lemaire-Sicre is a photojournalist whose work explores the intersections of history, politics, and contemporary society.

Driven by a commitment to uncovering underreported stories, Louis approaches each project with the intent of amplifying voices and narratives too often overlooked by mainstream media.
