Justine and Sébastien are sort of old-timers in the new wave of Box Camera Photographers. They had a very fortunate meeting with Issa Samado in Mopti, Mali, in 2011. They built their first camera that year and dedicated it to him as so much of their work came out of this inspiring encounter. For the last nine years, they have taken pictures on the street, often travelling through Europe to festivals and events. They originally called their camera a Street Box Camera. Justine still works as a Box Camera Photographer at events and on the street, while Sébastien has turned from itinerant photographer to craftsman and is probably the most prolific Box Camera manufacturer in the world. He has constructed more than 130 cameras and provided many photographers with a tool of joy or enterprise in the spirit of the couple’s Malian muse.
