Aline Deschamps (b.1991) is a French-Thai photographer currently based in Beirut. She holds a Master of International Relations from La Sorbonne Paris 1 and a Post diploma in Digital Media Arts from EPSAA (École Professionnelle Supérieure d'Arts Graphiques de la Ville de Paris). Her work tackles social and identity issues such as gender, migration, and cultural heritage.

Through her lens, Deschamps seeks to visually translate social testimonies, and to challenge the dominant representation of her subjects. Her most recent long-term project, I Am Not Your Animal, depicts migrant domestic workers in Lebanon. Her intimate portraits aim to create a visual shift in how these women are usually represented in mainstream media.

Deschamps is the laureate of the SCAM Grant 2021 “Brouillon d’un rêve”, the Prize UPP-Picto 2021, and is among the finalists for the Prix Levallois (2021). She was part of collective exhibitions (Agence Vu’, Fondation Manuel Rivera-Ortiz, Gulf Photo Plus etc.) and also held several solo exhibitions since 2009.

Aline's photographs were relayed by several international media (Al Jazeera English, BBC, Libération, the British Journal of Photography, Público, Konbini, L’Oeil de la Photographie, Le Monde, O’Globo, Polka Magazine, etc...).

She is a Canon Ambassador, and a member of Women Photograph, Middle East Images and Diversify Photo.
