The event ended with a cocktail in a friendly atmosphere with a conversation about photography.
Marc Riboud (French, b.1923) is a photographer best known for his images of the East. At the Great Exhibition of Paris in 1937, he took his first pictures. From 1945 to 1948, he studied engineering and worked in a factory, but soon left this job to pursue photography full time. He moved to Paris, where he met Henri Cartier-Bresson, Robert Capa, and David Seymour, the founders of Magnum Photos. In 1953, he became a member of the organization. That same year, he published his now-famous image of a painter standing on the Eiffel Tower in Life magazine.
In 1955, he traveled throughout the Middle East and Afghanistan, and eventually landed in India, where he remained for one year. He then became one of the first European photographers to travel to China.
Marc Ribaud Manuscript
After three months in the USSR in 1960, he followed the independence movement in Algeria and Western Africa.
Between 1968 and 1969, he was one of the few photographers allowed to travel in South and North Vietnam. He also captured the iconic anti-war image Flower Power, which was taken in Washington, D.C., in 1967. In 1976, he became president of Magnum, but resigned three years later in order to travel more.
Riboud was made an Honorary Fellow of the Royal Photographic Society in 1998. His work is frequently exhibited at museums throughout Europe, as well as the United States, China, and Japan.
Vladimir Jovanovski was born in 1983 in Kumanovo, Macedonia.
