Born in 1965, Frederic Noy is a freelance photographer based in Central Asia and represented by Panos Pictures.
Formerly based in Tanzania, Nigeria, Sudan, Chad and Uganda, much of his work focuses on the history, beliefs and traditions that are in flux due to the changing circumstances in these countries. A proponent of ‘slow journalism’, he conducts long-term and personal photographic projects, and has produced several multimedia projects.
Noy spent eight years focusing on LGBTI+ communities in the Great Lakes region in Africa, and published the book Ekifire, with Les Belles Lettres, on this work. The story was awarded with a Pride Photo Award. His long-term project examining the dilemma between survival and environmental preservation facing the people living along the waterways of the Lake Victoria region in east Africa, was awarded a Visa d'or Feature Award in 2019.
His work is regularly featured at festivals, including Visa pour l'Image in Perpignan, France, and has been published extensively by French and international media.
