Born into a family of Cambodian refugees in France, William Keo’s (b. 1996) work covers themes of migration, social exclusion and inter-community intolerance.
Keo began photography working for NGOs and covered the Syrian refugee crisis, conflict in Darfur, migrants in Europe and the Rohingya humanitarian crisis. Since 2019, he has covered the cycles of violence after the fall of ISIS in Iraq and Syria, French and international news for the press such as the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, Israel and Palestine among others. He was represented by Magnum Photos between 2021 and 2024.
In his ongoing personal project, Keo shares the stories of marginalized people, descendants of immigrants from post-colonial France who are living in the Banlieues.
