Loos Prison

When I lived in Paris I didn’t have much money so my equipment was very basic. I remember other photographers who had great equipment. To compete with those guys, I would come with my own story idea and push it to the picture desk, with the condition that I’d be the one to shoot the photos.

Loos Prison is one of my “pushed stories”. I’d met a retired teacher who was working in the prison, where the prisoners were learning how to make webpages. I really enjoyed this part of my life in Paris.

Newport ,Wales | 2089

This series looks at working life in Wales—cashiers, roofers, labourers, and men on construction sites. It was photographed on bulk-rolled Kodak Tri-X film, giving the images a gritty, tactile quality that reflects the physicality of the jobs. Shot with no frills, just available light and time spent watching, the pictures are a quiet record of labour—its gestures, its repetition, and its dignity.

Sinai,egypt | 2025

Mostafa Mansour is a documentary photographer based in Sinai, Egypt. His current work focuses on the life of Bedouin communities from the Muzeina tribe and their relationship to their environment. Mansour’s work is mainly shot on analog film in different formats. His recent short film ‘Passage’ -an experimental short documentary film- was screened at Two.Five film festival and Zawya Film Festival in Cairo.

London ,UK | 1990

In 1990, I worked on a building site near Green Park in London. Many of the men were Irish, and among the concrete gang, some spoke Gaelic as they worked. Hearing the Irish language rise above the noise of drills and steel was unexpected—an echo of home in the heart of a foreign city. These photographs capture a moment when hard labour, exile, and heritage came together in the dust and light of a changing London.
