Johnson Sabin: How Photography Becomes a Way to Tell Haiti's Story

Le Nouvelliste has published a profile of Johnson Sabin, a Haitian photographer whose work, the outlet reports, has come to tell the story of Haiti through scenes of daily life, beliefs, social movements and violence. According to the article, some know him by name while others recognize his work only through a photo credit seen by chance; the newspaper says it sought him out because he chose to express himself through photography. Described as calm and discreet, Sabin is characterized as one of those photographers whose work speaks louder than its author. Le Nouvelliste notes that his path from theater to photography, while surprising at first glance, follows its own logic, as he worked in theater before finding himself behind the camera. The full article, which continues behind the outlet's free registration wall, situates Sabin within Haiti's contemporary visual arts scene. The piece also references a joint exhibition, 'Larmes de fer,' presented by Matt and Johnson. The profile appeared in the paper's National section. Further biographical and career details were not included in the available excerpt.
