Said Manseur (born 1999, Mascara, Algeria) is a visual storyteller and documentary photographer based in Algiers. His work explores overlooked social issues, questions of identity, migration, and human rights, drawing deeply from his Algerian heritage and a commitment to documenting the human experience.
As a member of the African Photojournalism Database, Manseur has exhibited his work internationally, including at Image Festival Amman and Cairo Photo Week, where his photographs have been recognized for their emotional depth and narrative sensitivity.
In 2024, he was selected to join the prestigious École Kourtrajmé, an experience that further expanded his artistic vision and professional practice. In the same year, he received official accreditation as an artist-photographer from the National Council of Arts and Letters of Algeria.
In 2025, he founded the National Photography Salon “El Forsan,” an initiative dedicated to supporting emerging photographers and strengthening visual culture across Algeria.
Through long-term documentary projects, Manseur seeks to create images that encourage reflection, preserve memory, and give visibility to stories that are often overlooked. He believes photography is not only a means of documentation, but also a powerful tool for understanding people, places, and the social realities that shape our world.
