Photographers are storytellers. They quietly direct our eye, while their images speak directly to our hearts. I imagine that is who Khireddine Khaldoun really is to his core…a storyteller.

Like any great storyteller of eras past, travel has been the biggest influence in the dialogue Khireddine creates through his photographic work. “I am lucky to be born in Algeria! This beautiful country which is my source of inspiration. I started traveling and exploring the world in 2011 when I visited Turkey. The trips were chained

thereafter…France, Spain, Lebanon, Tunisia, the USA, Morocco, Switzerland...

During my travels, I‘m interested in and focus on my art. I take it as an opportunity to visit museums, discover local artists. The reason for my travels is often artistic discoveries, to see how people live.” This is evident in the documentary style of his images.

“I traveled to the USA in 2015 and I must admit that it was one of the best trips I have made. I visited New York and Washington DC.”
