Born in 1981, Colin Delfosse grew up in Brussels, Belgium, where he is currently based. A journalism graduate, he turned to documentary photography in 2006, co-founding a photographic collective before working with various agencies. As a freelance photographer, Delfosse maintains a strong focus on long-term personal projects in Central Africa.

The recipient of several awards and grants, his work has been exhibited in numerous venues worldwide, including New York, Paris, Hanover, Lubumbashi, Los Angeles, Lagos, Arles, and Kinshasa. His recent research focuses on heritage restitution and the mining issues tied to the energy transition.

Alongside his personal projects, Delfosse works with the international press and NGOs. Co-founder of Médor magazine, he has served as photo editor for the Belgian quarterly since 2015. Since 2018, he has worked regularly with UNHCR (the United Nations Refugee Agency), covering the aftermath of conflicts in sub-Saharan Africa and Ukraine.

He also teaches documentary photography in the Master’s in Journalism program at IHECS (Brussels) and co-directs the Germaine Van Parys Prize, a scholarship dedicated to promoting women photographers in Belgium.
