Alain Schroeder
Belgian photojournalist Alain Schroeder has been working in the industry for over four decades. First as a sports photographer in the 80s, then shooting books and editorial pieces in art and human stories.
In 2013, he uprooted his life, trading-in his shares in Reporters, to pursue life on the road with a camera. He now travels the world shooting stories focusing on social issues and people. «I am not a single shot photographer. I think in series,» he says, adding, «I strive to tell a story in 10–15 pictures, capturing the essence of an instant with a sense of light and framing.»
He has won many international awards including PX3, IPA, MIFA, BIFA, PDN, Nikon Japan, Nikon Belgium, Days Japan, and specifically; 9 TPOTY, 5 Trieste Photo Awards, 2 The Fence, 2 LensCulture, 2 Felix Schoeller, 4 Istanbul Photo Awards, 10 Siena, 7 POYI, and 3 World Press Photo.
