The distinguished and intrepid Iranian photojournalist Reza Deghati, known as Reza, has covered some of the most dangerous places in the world. A warmhearted realist, he is a humanitarian who has seen it all, and has shown it to us, vividly, in the pages of the National Geographic. He will discuss his new book, Reza War + Peace, on Tuesday, December 2, at 7:30 p.m. at the Geographic’s Grosvenor Auditorium, ticket information. Sharing the stage will be author Sebastian Junger (The Perfect Storm), who wrote the introduction.
In addition to magnificent photographs from many lands, the book gives Reza’s insights into the lives of those pictured, as he spoke with them and learned of their problems, fears, and occasional joys.
Here’s a preview from the Geographic, with a video of Reza and pictures from his book. Living in exile from Iran, he makes his home base in Paris with his French wife, Rachel.
May I be allowed a bit of parental pride here? My daughter, Donnali Fifield, worked on the translation and editing of the text, which is in French. A couple of years ago, she translated the companion book for March of the Penguins and adapted it with the American version of the film, also for the Geographic. A writer who lives in San Francisco, she’s the designer and editor of this blog. I invite you to look at her Web site, Times Two Publishing Company.
