Yassine Atari (°1996, Belgium) ventured into the world of photography and storytelling at the young age of 19. He set out on a life-changing journey, determined to use his camera as a tool to shed light on the unseen, the unheard and the forgotten corners of the world.
Yassine's journey kickstarted on the Syrian border with Lebanon, during a humanitarian volunteering trip in 2015. Moved by the untold stories and overlooked experiences, he pledged to do more - this trip turned his camera into a constant companion towards a lifelong commitment to reveal the beauty behind the madness.
Over the past eight years, Yassine's work has taken him through more than 52 countries and an even wider range of human experiences. The path he carved out often led him to the epicenters of global conflicts, disaster zones, refugee camps, protests, and even the wild untamed territories where wildlife thrives.
Yassine also evolved into an overall video reporter and on-screen reporter for the Belgian broadcaster, where he masterfully combined photography, video, documentary, and online content to bring the world closer to his audience.
his work IS featured in various media outlets, such as VRT NWS, VICE, NOS, and many more.
He has also worked extensively with several international NGOs, such as Team Humanity USA, Oxfam, Caritas, Human Relief Foundation, etc., amplifying their causes through his captivating visuals.
Despite all his experience, he never stopped learning and improving. He completed an advanced Hostile Environment Awareness Training (HEAT) with Bluespear and obtained an online certificate from Harvard University on 'Humanitarian Response to Conflict and Disaster.’
In recognition of his contributions to the field, Yassine was awarded the prestigious Belgian Press Prize in 2020, the 'Gouden Reuske' award in 2023, THE KAMERA EXPRESS INTERNATIONAL PHOTO AWARD: DOCUMENTARY in 2023 and earned a nomination for a Rose d'Or award in 2020.
