Bio

Antoine Loncle (b.1995) is a Malaysian-French photographer working through expanded methods of documentary, as well as analog processes and materials. His work originates from investigations into his surroundings and his sense of self and personal/cultural identity.

In 2016 he traveled to Australia to undertake his BA in Photography at PSC (Photography Studies College) Melbourne. In this time, he has been fortunate enough to have had guidance from some of the country’s biggest photographic artists, participated in several group exhibitions, and had the chance to produce several copies of his first photobook project I’ll Love You and Leave You which was shot in Malaysia. in 2017 he participated in the OBSCURA festival workshop run by Leonard Pongo, as well as developed a mentorship in 2018 with American photographer Bryan Schutmaat, as he produced his graduate project, Lines of Flight. 

Antoine continues to work in Malaysia on his next long-term project alongside commissioned portraiture works.
