Vincent Peal
Visual Stories
About
Vincent Peal became known within the electro rock formation Emma Peal for which this autodidact was also in charge of the visual of this unique and uncompromising group.
For about ten years now, Vincent Peal has swapped the microphone for a camera with an equally rare and radical vision of today's world.
He makes a documentary film on the marginalized living in the streets of Brussels and shoots several video clips in Super 8 in New York, Paris, Berlin ...
He also participates in the Shanghai World Expo with his photos on the slums of Bombay and on the problem of pollution of beaches in West Africa.

Making portraits is above all, getting closer to others and transmitting moments of life.
In the street, I saw dozens of faces, each one telling incredible stories, hard, beautiful, funny and sometimes complicated; but, in these faces there is a whole universe to discover and it is through the photo that I try to describe the human in all its sensitivity, its poetry, its fragility, its dramas, its absurdities, its emotions ...
A work must be a source of emotions and feelings but it must also lead to reflection.
