Douraïd Souissi
There are two types of photographers: the ones that reach the top of their art after years of studying in a specialised school, and the self-made men who develop their own talent through good or bad experiences and risk taking. Douraïd Souissi is one of the latter.
Predestined to pursue a career in finance, Douraïd Souissi discovered a passion for photography while studying international business in the United States. The young man graduated with a bachelor ' s degree in international finance and a master ' s degree in philosophy and never gave up his appetence for photography. Upon returning to Tunis, Souissi decided to pursue photography professionally. Douraïd Souissi’ s photographs capture the interest and exude a feeling of plenitude. In complete rupture with common ideas, the photographer promotes topics outside of the beaten track. Each of his series highlights generally neglected regions, such as Siliana, Kef or even Lomé in Togo. Since his first exhibition revealing the Drops series in 2006, Douraïd Souissi has been multiplying projects, including participations in the Rencontres Internationales in Ghar El Melh, in the Noor-Nikon Master Class workshop in 2013, and in the Views of Tunisia project. The photographer is currently busy working on a project in cooperation with the Cité Internationale des Arts de Paris, on the theme of divorce between Man and Nature. I
