Frédéric Stucin is a French photographer born in 1977, currently living and working in Paris. Specialized in portraying personalities or anonymous sitters, especially for the press, he carries in parallel more personal work.
In his latest series, Frédéric Stucin immerses us in enigmatic nocturnal atmospheres which he carefully constructs, following a process close to the day for night technique in cinema. He photographs during the day, always before nightfall, dissimulating lights which give the chosen setting the appearance of a movie set or a photography studio. His work closely combines exploration of the reality and the imaginary.
In 2020, his series “Le Décor”, made in Paris during the lockdown, was rewarded with the Eurazeo price. It will be exhibited at the Hôtel de l’Industrie in Paris in April 2022.
His work has been the subject of several exhibitions, the most recent ones at the Villa Pérochon in Niort, at the Portrait(s) festival in Vichy, or at the Hangar Photo Art Center in Brussels. More recently, he co-wrote and co-directed a short photographic film with Olivier Jahan, La Femme de 8h47, produced by Vagabond Films and Maje Films, which is set to be released in the spring of 2022. In 2023, he exhibited Les Interstices in Strasbourg. 

Recently, he nominated and laureate for many prizes: in 2021 and 2022 for the Nièpce prize, in 2022 for the Swiss Life à quatre Mains prize and in 2023 for the Leica Oskar Barnack prize. With Radioscopie de la France: regards sur un pays traversé par la crise sanitaire, he is the laureate of the great photographic commission organised in 2022 by the BNF.

He published several books : Endorphine (éditions Filigranes, 2021), Only Bleeding (éditions du Bec en l’air, 2019), Trois étoiles (exhibition catalogue of the Musée Nicéphore Niépce, 2016). The writer Marie NDiaye, winner of the Prix Goncourt 2009, signs the foreword of his latest book published by Maison CF, La Source.
