Mathieu Asselin (born 25 June 1973) is a French-Venezuelan photographer artist specializing in documentary photography and portraiture related to social issues. He is based in New York City.

In 2017 his book Monsanto: A Photographic Investigation, "a powerful indictment of corporate power and ecological irresponsibility",[1] won the Paris Photo-Aperture Foundation First PhotoBook Award and was a finalist for the Deutsche Börse Photography Prize.

Life and work

Asselin began his career working on film productions in Caracas, Venezuela[2] and then as a photographer in Europe.[3] He currently works as a photographer in New York City.[4]

In 2011 Asselin photographed Occupy Wall Street protestors in Zuccotti Park, using a small open-air studio.[5] The same year he made portraits of people who had lived through the 2011 Joplin tornado in Joplin, Missouri.[6]

In 2014, he was Artist in Residence with Imagine Science Films.[7][8]

For his book Monsanto: A Photographic Investigation, Asselin spent five years photographing the damaged landscape around Anniston, Alabama, caused by a Monsanto chemical factory.[9][1][10] Sean O'Hagan, writing in The Guardian, described it as "a powerful indictment of corporate power and ecological irresponsibility",[11] "a book about corporate impunity that unfolds through the deft interweaving of Asselin’s own images and a wealth of found material, from personal testimonies to courtroom files."[1] O'hagan included it in his "best photography books of 2017".[1]
