Elie Benistant is a Paris born photographer, raised in South Africa, now based in Paris. Growing up between different cultures shaped a careful, observant eye, attuned to the intimacy of personal connection. Beginning with skateboarding and youth culture in South Africa, Elie developed a practice rooted in documentary instinct, which now informs his editorial and fashion work.

His images focus on human presence, capturing quiet moments that reveal the complexity of identity.

Elie is represented by Artsphere Paris.
