Born in France in 1996 to a family of Cambodian refugees, Keo’s work deals with subjects such as migration, social marginalisation and intolerance between different communities. Keo began his photography working for NGOs, and since 2019 has worked for The New York Times, National Geographic, Le Monde, Libération, Vogue and New York magazine, reporting on conflicts in Iraq, Syria, Ukraine, Israel and Palestine. He was represented by Magnum Photos between 2021 and 2024. His current project is dedicated to the descendants of immigrants from post-colonial France, who live in the banlieues of Paris.
