Wassila Mestiri

I've always dreamed of becoming a photojournalist and visual documentary storyteller. Yet, I initially chose to pursue studies in agronomy, driven by the belief that understanding the land, ecosystems, and rural societies was a concrete way to act upon the world. Today, at a point in my life where maturity offers a clearer and more committed vision, I have decided to bring these two paths together. My perspective as a photographer is deeply shaped by my background as an agronomist, allowing me to explore, document, and bear witness to environmental, ecological, and social issues through visual projects rooted in reality and guided by a deep awareness of life and sustainable development.

Maturity is a precious asset that only time can cultivate. Now, I approach each project with a refined vision, shaped by experience, perspective, and deep empathy. My dual journey as an agronomist and committed photographer has allowed me to forge strong connections between image, reality, and the social and environmental struggles of our time. This mature perspective enables me to capture what lies beyond the surface, to bear witness with clarity and humanity, and to convey a visual voice grounded in listening and understanding.
