Michel Nachef is a photographer born in Lebanon in 1936. He lived in Morocco for 50 years. His career is based on the conservation of architectural and human heritage.
He then began a work on popular culture for years 1980, by photographing several moussems in various regions of Morocco, offering to the gaze a freedom opposed to Western stereotypes, on the consideration of the body and the celebrations. Thus influenced by American photography, such as Ansel Adams or Dorothea Lange, Michel Nachef deploys an emphatic vision of his adopted country seeking in the authentic, the means to sublimate the senses of the Moroccan subject.
