Our Work

The company’s best-known body of work, Homeland Lost, is a series of photo essays, looking at long-term refugee crises around the world. The first in the series looks at the Palestinian situation and has been exhibited extensively in the Middle-East and Europe. Homeland Lost is among only a handful of projects addressing the Palestinian refugee crisis to have been exhibited in Israel. More recently, Gignouxphotos has been producing two multimedia projects which investigate environmental questions. These include the ongoing devastation of the Appalachian mountain landscape, and the damage to water systems caused by the Oil Sands in Alberta, Canada.
