The career of Reza, of Iranian origin, is marked by constant visual, intellectual and human commitment to understanding and interpreting reality. In over thirty years he has travelled the world for the great international magazines, National Geographic, Time, Stern and Paris Match, and from the Bosphorus to the Great Wall of China, from the Camargue to the Caucasus and across the United States he has caught the light, the gazes and the memory of the places and peoples he met. A master of shadow and colour, he prefers sober framing dense with meaning, bearing witness to humanity, its faith and its courage. "The work of a photojournalist often allows an ineffable, intimate, purely intuitive relationship with events and dangers. Extraordinary situations sharpen an unconscious sixth sense that lets the witness avoid danger. Some call it destiny."
