About Tinne
Tinne Van Loon is a Belgian/American documentary photographer based in Cairo focusing on social issues concerning Middle Eastern communities. Her work provides a greater context to the headlines, finding the everyday impact of political and social conflicts. She has a particular interest in daily life and women's issues.
Tinne is available for editorial and non-profit assignments.
Tinne is the founder of Everyday Egypt, a collective of 20+ photographers posting images of daily life in the country, often opposing the news headlines. She is also the co-director of The People's Girls, a documentary about sexual harassment in Egypt, released in early 2016.
She is a member of the Frontline Freelance Register and her Everyday Egypt photos are represented by Getty Images.
