French photographer Stephan Gladieu captures the essence of North Korean people through a series of portraits taken during five trips to the country between 2017 and 2020. His work, titled 'North Korea', aims to highlight the often invisible lives of the North Korean community, contrasting their everyday reality with the controlled environment of the regime. Gladieu employs iconic portraiture techniques to create a humanist message, focusing on the subjects' individuality while navigating the complexities of cultural differences and restrictions in North Korea.
