Marc Riboud - Photographs.

Born in Lyons in 1923, Marc Riboud was active in the French Resistance from 1942 to 1945. Until 1951, Riboud worked as an engineer in Lyons factories, then became a freelance photographer and moved to Paris in 1952. He was invited to join Magnum as an associate by Henri Cartier-Bresson and Robert Capa in 1953; in 1955 he became a full member.

In the mid-1950s, he set off for India in a specially converted Land Rover that once belonged to Magnum co-founder George Rodger, who had used it for his celebrated work in Africa. When he went to China in 1957, Riboud was one of the first European photographers to visit the country; he returned for a lengthy stay in 1965 with writer K. S. Karol. He is best known for his extensive reports on the East: The Three Banners of China (1966), Faces of North Vietnam (1970), Visions of China (1981), Angkor: The Serenity of Buddhism (1992), In China (1996), Tomorrow Shanghai (2003) and Istanbul 1954–1998 (2003).
