Welcome to a new episode of De Donkere Kamer podcast. Today we have a special guest: Bertrand Meunier, a renowned photographer and documentary filmmaker born in 1965 in Nevers, France. With projects stretching from Pakistan to China, and numerous awards to his name, he has much to tell us about his impressive career and personal life.


In this episode, we dive deep into Bertrand's work, especially his lengthy documentation of social and industrial change in China. We discuss how he combines his love of photography and nature, his adventures in Southeast Asia and South America, and his recent creative projects and new challenges in the Pyrenees.


Bertrand shares his philosophy on photography as a language, his preference for black-and-white analog photography, and the impact of the pandemic on his work. He talks candidly about the balance between artistic freedom and financial security, and why collaboration without big egos is crucial. We conclude with a look at his future plans and projects.
