Award-winning documentary photographer Eli Reed’s “long walk”
has been a journey that has taken him from a low-income housing
project in Perth Amboy, New Jersey, to Harvard University and to
membership in the elite international photojournalists’
collective, Magnum Photos. Reed’s quest to understand “what it
means to be a human being” has given him an extraordinary empathy
with the people he photographs, whether they are Lost Boys in
Sudan, the poor in America, or actors in Hollywood. In a
photographic career spanning five decades, Reed has been the
recipient of a World Understanding Award from POYi (Pictures of the
Year International), Lucie Award for Achievement in Documentary,
World Press Award, Leica Medal of Excellence, Overseas Press Club
Award, and a Nieman Fellowship at Harvard, as well as a runner-up
for a Pulitzer Prize. Eli Reed: A Long Walk Home presents the first
career retrospective of Reed’s work. Consisting of over 250
images that span the full range of his subjects and his evolution
as a photographer, the photographs are a visual summation of the
human condition. They include examples of Reed’s early work; a
broad selection of images of people from New York to California
that constitutes a brilliant collective portrait of the social,
cultural, and economic experiences of Americans in our time; images
of life and conflict in Africa, the Middle East, Haiti, Central
America, England, Spain, South America, and China; portraits of
women and Hollywood actors; and self-portraits. Reed’s artist
statement and an introduction by Paul Theroux, whom Reed met while
working in Africa, complete the volume.
