Joel Pelerin

Joel Pelerin is a nude photographer well known in the Indian Ocean, living in Reunion Island. He has done many exhibitions in Reunion, in South Africa, and also in Canada, at the prestigious French Festival de Cannes, and many other places… Previously, Joel was an engineer and professor at the Antananarivo University, Madagascar. As a photographer, he only shoots portraiture and female nudes. None of his models (more than one hundred) are professional, most of them are students or working in the city. 70% live in a area 2 km around: there is a great density of wonderful women in Reunion Island! Joel hopes to show the beauty of Réunionnese métissage through his work, for the world to see…
