Mister Geez (Gerald Marie-Nelly) is a visual art creator and printmaking artisan from Martinique, based in London. His work bridges street and documentary photography with mixed media, exploring the connections between memory, identity, and place.

Since 2014, he has used photography as a tool for storytelling and connection. He has documented communities in Haiti, run a studio in East London, assisted in workshops for Crisis UK, an organisation supporting people experiencing homelessness, and exhibited internationally.

His practice follows two main paths: black and white street photography printed by hand using the platinum/palladium process, and conceptual works that blend photography, AI imagery, and data visualisation, culminating in handmade cyanotype prints.

In 2025, he received the First Prize (Lorenzo il Magnifico Award) in Digital Art at the XV Florence Biennale of Contemporary Art for Ancestors Never Die (Zansèt Pa Ka Mò), a handmade cyanotype series honouring ancestral memory.

Through his books, exhibitions, and workshops, Mister Geez continues to explore the meeting point between tradition and innovation, where analogue craft meets digital imagination.
