Guillaume Binet
Photographer, CEO, M.Y.O.P Agency, MYOP
Guillaume Binet founded the M.Y.O.P agency in 2005.
He has developed a documentary aspect to his photographic work, reporting for the international press during the conflicts of the Arab Spring (, Newsweek 2011,...) or in Ukraine (Al Jazeera, Wall Street Journal, L'Obs, TIME, ELLE). He collaborates with humanitarian organizations such as Action contre la faim or Médecins sans frontières ( Yemen in 2015 and 2018, Libya, Congo ...) In 2019, he is producing the 40th anniversary book of Action contre la faim, Ce que je voi. For the past 5 years, he has worked closely with the French Red Cross, mainly on international actions.
Guillaume Binet's journalistic work won two POYi awards in 2012.
Another, more dreamlike and intimate part of his work led him to produce a family photographic road-trip across North America, in search of the spirit of the country, told through interviews with 26 contemporary American writers. "L'Amérique des écrivains - Road trip" won ELLE's Grand Prix des lectrices.
