Noor a été crée en 2007, avec la volonté de faire vivre le photojournalisme, et surtout de croire qu'il existe toujours.
Lors de la 24e édition de Visa pour l'image, l'agence a célébré cet événement comme il se doit, et à l'image de son fonctionnement, dans la joie et l'engouement.
Au départ, l'idée était de créer une agence indépendante, pour Claudia Hinterseer, la directrice et créatrice de l'agence : « Nous ne voulions pas être dépendants d'une grande agence. Notre souhait était de travailler avec des photographes amis, dont nous connaissions le travail et que nous respections. Stanley Greene m'a aidé à ...
Last year our group project Consequences by NOOR - an eyewitness record of the effects of climate change around the globe - was launched during the UN climate summit in Copenhagen. As representatives and organizations from different countries are gathering again for this years summit in Cancun, we herewith proudly present our multi-year climate change group project: Solutions by NOOR. Produced this autumn with the participation of all ten NOOR photographers, we focused on human stories about alternative power sources, renewable energies and attempts to alleviate, adjust or cope with the rise of global temperatures. The biggest challenge our world has ever faced.

This year’s anniversary edition of Fotofestiwal in Łódź looks set to be a multidimensional journey. Thematic exhibitions HIT THE ROAD: Photographers’ travel” will not only take the audience to various corners of the Earth, but also ensure a variety of interpretations of the theme and of types of photography. This extraordinary journey, with world-famous artist as guides, will begin on 9 June 2016 and last until 19 June 2016.
The fifteenth festival will concentrate on the experience intrinsically linked to photography from its very beginning – travel and the various forms of its recording and presentation. The main theme, “HIT THE ROAD: Photographers Travel” will be treated very broadly: from the reinterpretation of travel photography from the turn of the century, through th...
Why do people migrate? Where to and for what reasons? What is the fate of the different indigenous populations in the Americas? In Via PanAm, Kadir van Lohuizen investigates the roots of migration in the Americas, a phenomenon which is as old as humanity but is increasingly portrayed as a new threat to the Western world.
Via PanAm follows Van Lohuizen’s footsteps from the very south of Chile to the very north of Alaska. Travelling almost 40,000 km overland along the Pan-American Highway and crossing through 15 countries, Van Lohuizen visualized the stories of the communities, regions and societies he encountered. His work reflects a diverse range of migration experiences both historic and contemporary. The photo stories reflect the complexity of migration – the diverse motivations for coming and going, the...

Cette exposition est le second chapitre d’un projet collectif mené par les photographes de l’agence Noor. Le premier chapitre, intitulé Consequences, a participé à une série d’événements au sommet de Copenhague sur le changement climatique en 2009.
Dans ce deuxième volet, Solutions, initié en 2010, sont évoquées des alternatives aux problèmes énergétiques, des initiatives pour développer des énergies renouvelables et faire face au réchauffement climatique. A travers plusieurs histoires humaines photographiées dans différents pays du monde – Brésil, Chine, Congo, Cuba, Islande, Kenya, Russie, U.S.A – on découvre des entreprises, parfois mode...
Photojournalism is in the midst of a remarkable, and singularly unexpected, renaissance. New practices, strategies, viewpoints, techniques, and agents have radically transformed the institutions and the fundamental concepts of the field. Whilst it has become fashionable to lament the death of photojournalism, actual events suggest that something quite different is taking place. The group exhibition Antiphotojournalism charts these new developments in exciting ways.
Included is work by Broomberg & Chanarin, Mauro Andrizzi, Jonathan Cavender, Robbie Wright, Shane McDonald, Hito Steyerl, Ariella Azoulay, Paul Lowe, Goran Galic & Gian-Reto Gredig, Laura Kurgan, Renzo Martens, Kadir van Lohuizen, Allan Sekula, Phil Collins, Walid Raad/The Atlas Group, Paul Fusco, Gilles Peress and Susan Meiselas.

From the frontiers of climate change comes Consequences by NOOR. Featuring the work of nine internationally acclaimed documentary photographers, this exhibition documents the devastating effects of climate change around the globe: every day realities experienced by millions of people, in the form of hunger, disease, conflict, forced migration and loss of livelihood and human rights.
Consequences by NOOR is a showcase for creativity in photography and an eyewitness record of the causes and the humanitarian effects of world-wide temperature changes. Produced in the autumn of 2009 by NOOR photo agency, represented in Germany by laif, these visual reportages show not what might happen in the future but what is happening today, emphasizing the urgency of addressing the issues at stake. The project is supported by Nikon Eu...

Nina Berman (1960) - photographies « Homeland »
Ces images font partie d'un sujet commencé le 11 septembre 2001. En explorant la vie des Américains, ces photos cherchent à définir le sens du militarisme, de la sécurité et de l'identité. Après avoir passé les dernières années à photographier les coûts humains et la réalité de la guerre, il...
Créée en septembre 2007, la jeune agence NOOR apparaît d’emblée comme un défi dans le contexte médiatique actuel. Réaliser des reportages sur de longues périodes, individuels et collectifs, traiter de sujets complexes pour révéler des réalités à travers le monde, témoigner avec rigueur et précision dans le respect de la dignité humaine, sont autant d’engagements pour lesquels ces photographes ont uni leurs convictions et leurs capacités. Enthousiasmante et courageuse, cette démarche adhère à la meilleure tradition du reportage photographique et confirme que des perspectives existent face à une sorte d’asepsie qui gagne peu à peu les médias. Cette...
Créé en septembre 2007, le collectif de photographes NOOR rassemble de grands noms du photojournalisme : Samantha Appleton, Philip Blenkinsop, Pep Bonet, Jan Grarup, Stanley Greene, Yuri Kozyrev, Kadir van Lohuizen, Jon Lowenstein, Francesco Zizola, Claudia Hinterseer. Cette exposition spécialement réalisée pour Bayeux offre le regard de chacun des photographes de NOOR sur la guerre.
Dès lors que l’on entend immortaliser un confl it, c’est-à-dire une situation par nature controversée, il est nécessaire de faire intervenir plusieurs points de vue. Cette exposition vise à dévoiler au public quelques-unes des nombreuses approches adoptées par les photographes de l’agence NOOR qui, avec des parcours et des histoires personn...
Étrange parcours que celui des diamants. Il fallait l'ingéniosité d'enquêteur de Kadir van Lohuizen pour parvenir à construire un tel sujet et lui donner toute sa dimension. Kadir van Lohuizen a réalisé ce reportage durant plusieurs années et met en évidence, à travers ses photos, les rouages et les aspects méconnus de cette industrie.
Pour cela, il explore toutes les étapes du processus, depuis la recherche du matériau, en passant par ses phases de transformation et par les différents marchés qu'il alimente.
"Le diamant est du carbone qui s'est cristallisé après être resté sous pression pendant des millions d'années. Ces cristaux remontent à la surface pendant les éruptions volcaniques. Certains retombent dans la cheminée du volcan et forment les brèches diamantifères appelées kimberlite....
Il y a un an, Kadir van Lohuizen est retourné en Afrique, en collaboration avec l'Institut Néerlandais pour l'Afrique australe, et a parcouru la République Démocratique du Congo, la Sierra Leone et l'Angola pour suivre le chemin d'un diamant, de son extraction dans les mines jusqu'aux clients des grands joailliers.
Ce reportage présente le financement, les conditions de travail ainsi que les hommes qui profitent de l'industrie du diamant.
Commande du Centre National des Arts Plastiques - Ministère de la Culture et de la Communication.
