Beyond the bars: a project by French photographer Grégoire Korganov
Categories: Photo project
By Pictolic https://pictolic.com/article/beyond-the-bars-a-project-by-french-photographer-gregoire-korganov.htmlPhotographer Gregoire Korganow spent three years in French prisons. Fortunately, not as a prisoner, but as a photographer who took pictures of the daily life of prisoners. Participating in L'ombre de la Republique (In the Shadow of the Republic), directed by Stéphane Mercurio, the photographer managed to work in 20 different prisons and pre-trial detention centers throughout France. It turned out interesting and very scary.
(Total 21 photos)

5. Gregoire Korganov himself now says that the work was extremely difficult for him.
