PHOTOGRAPHY
What defines who we are?
Is it our experiences, choices and the path we take - or are forced to take sometimes?
I look for answers
and strive to share the stories of individuals with my camera.

Let Me Return Home
Monrovia Central Prison – Liberia’s Forgotten Children
In this powerful black-and-white series, Vincent Tremeau documents the lives of children incarcerated in Monrovia Central Prison, Liberia. Detained for minor offenses or without due process, many are held alongside adults in overcrowded, under-resourced conditions. Through intimate portraits and stark shadows, the series exposes the harsh realities of a broken juvenile justice system—yet also reveals moments of resilience, humanity, and hope. Each image is a quiet protest, urging us to rethink what justice means for children and reminding us of their right to a future beyond bars.
