Quentin MKA is a self-taught French photographer now based between Paris and Marseille. Born and raised in the western suburbs of Paris, with a degree in Social Sciences and Humanities, he joined a position at an international development agency in Dakar in 2016.

He spent seven years there that transformed his worldview. Confronted with the realities of the development aid sector, he realized that these institutions often serve economic and political interests rather than their stated development objectives. This disillusionment led him to pursue photography, his passion since childhood, which became his profession during his final year in Senegal.

It was within this African cultural context that he developed his aesthetic approach. His work blends portraiture, fashion, and landscape photography, favoring a naturalistic treatment where the authenticity of the subject takes precedence over artifice.

His journey between Europe, Africa, and the Mediterranean feeds into a photographic vision marked by intercultural exchanges. Now settled in Marseille while maintaining a base in Paris for work, Quentin MKA explores contemporary fashion aesthetics through the lens of his multicultural experiences, bringing a distinctive perspective to fashion photography.
