Born in 1986 in the outskirts of Paris, Lionel Macor witnesses, from a very young age, his mother immortalizing family vacation moments and archiving them conscientiously. It is only from adolescence that he revisits her images to uncover the additional layers they have to offer. He starts to accompany her in the darkroom, and from that moment onwards, photography becomes an essential part of his life.

During his studies, he embarks on multiple missions to southern Africa, and quickly develops an obsessive affinity for this continent, which he manifests through different photography series. Like many photographers today, Lionel is a child of the digital age. Very quickly, though, it is the organic relationship with film photography and the importance of tight distance and precise framing that take precedence for him.
