ANNE MOCAËR Documentary photographer Locations : Marseille and Casablanca https://annemocaer.com/ Instagram Contact : +33 695152192 mocaer.anne@gmail.com
I am a self-taught French documentary photographer based between Marseille and Casablanca. I grew up between several countries. After nearly twenty years working in education and language pedagogy, I began developing my photographic practice in 2021. I regularly undertake editorial photography assignments for national and international publications. Alongside my photographic work, I continue to work in education, developing training programs and leading workshops. My work has been exhibited in France and internationally, including at Somerset House, the Tokyo Photographic Art Museum as part of the Sony World Photography Awards, and the Museum of Photography in Casablanca. In 2025, I received the Prix Galerie Le Bleu du Ciel in Lyon. In 2026, I received the Prix Réponses Photo at Les Boutographies. I am a 2026 Women Photograph mentee. My work falls within the realm of contemporary documentary, at the intersection of social inquiry and a sensitive visual language. I seek to reveal the often-invisible structures that shape how we inhabit the world. I am interested in the traces that social, political, economic and intimate structures leave on people, in their bodies, gestures and lived experience. My ongoing projects include Avenue Royale, which documents the transformation of a neighbourhood in Casablanca and its impact on the families who live there; If I Walk Fast, which explores women’s hypervigilance in public space; and Cadettes, which follows young women playing rugby in Marseille, examining their place in a sport traditionally associated with men.
