Photographer and visual artist Samer Mohdad was born in Bzebdine, Lebanon, in 1964. After finishing studies in photography at St-Luc in Liège, Belgium, he started working for the Agence Vu in Paris in 1988. He was commissioned in 1990 by the Musée de l'Elysée in Lausanne to photograph the Swiss army for the book and exhibition Voir la Suisse autrement. In 1991, he produced a photographic essay on Lebanon after the civil war. In his following project, War Children, Lebanon 1985-1992, he examined childhood during the Lebanese civil war. He then moved on to the Palestinian issue in Return to Gaza, a dual portrait of 415 Palestinians deported to south Lebanon in 1993 and their return to the Gaza Strip in 1994. In 1997, he co-founded the Arab Image Foundation along with fellow photographers Fouad el-Khoury and Akram Zaatari. He curated photography exhibitions at the Rencontres Internationales de la Photographie in Arles in 1998, and won the Mother Jones Award in San Francisco for his book Mes Arabies, first in his ongoing The Arabs trilogy, whose photographs were exhibited at the IFA galleries in Stuttgart, Bonn, and Berlin. From 2001 to 2003, he set up and directed the Center for Images at the King Abdullaziz Public Library in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Photography was still prohibited by fatwa in Saudi Arabia when he created the images for the second part of The Arabs trilogy, Assaoudia, published in 2005. The same year, he elaborated the project Mes Ententes on the return of displaced families to Mount Lebanon. In 2007, he started Menassat, a website focusing on news, trends and events in the media in the MENA region. In 2009, he exhibited at the Doha Festival for Arts and Free Expression. Samer Mohdad received the 2011 Pioneer Photographer Award from the National Geographic All Roads Photography program. He currently lives and works in Lebanon.
