Ussi'n is a self-taught photographer (born 1993, Gabon) and currently based in Paris. Attracted by art, especially music from an early age, he feeds his passion through it. His interest in photography was built later on in 2015 by wanting to document the lives of people in Gabon.
Arrived in France in late 2016, he started doing more fashion and portraits through which he explores gender identities in Africa and its diasporas.
