Yves Gellie was born in Bodeaux, France, on September 16th, 1953. After medical studies at the University of Bordeaux, he practiced tropical medicine in Gabon for two years.
His work being between Photo Journalism and Contemporary Art, he has developed a style described as an iconographic selection of the reality underlying the day-to-life and its trivial aspects.
