Bruno Barbey: Morocco
Do you like this story?
Bruno Barbey is a French photographer, well known for his uncompromising work and for being an early member of Magnum. Over four decades, he has journeyed across five continents and numerous world conflicts, and although he does not consider himself a war photographer, he covered the civil war in Nigeria, Vietnam, the Middle East, Bangladesh, Cambodia, Ireland, Iraq and Kuwait.
His work has appeared in most major magazines in the world. A prolific author who often exposes and expresses himself in book form, he has frequently worked in Morocco, the country of his birth and childhood.
His website is not the most attractive, however I bring it to you for his splendid work on Morocco, despite the low resolution of the images. One of these images is made in Meknes in 1985 and is well worth your time. The yellow ochre walls of the mosque, and the hunched figure wearing the traditional Moroccan djellaba appearing through the archway, is simply a classic. Another one taken from above a public fountain is also delightful. His galleries number 9, 10 and 11 have panoramic style images of Morocco as well.
