Documentary photographer Raphaël Dallaporta, born in France in 1980, has garnered international acclaim
for his thoughtful and engaging projects. He is concerned with public issues addressing human rights as well
as more symbolic subjects such as the fragility of life.


His long term projects which combine text and images are a product of his collaborations with professionals from a wide range of fields. He has worked closely with a landmine clearer (Antipersonnel), a reporter who covers social work as it intersects with the law (Domestic Slavery), forensic pathologist (Fragile) and most recently archeologists (Ruins) …


Raphael Dallaporta is the winner of the 2010 Young Photographer ICP Infinity Award
and FOAM’s 2011 Paul Huf Award .



Solo exhibitions include “Raphaël Dallaporta, Protocole” at Musée de l’Elysée, Lausanne, in 2010,
