Moukarzel, Roger - Le Voile: the Journey of the Veil - Deluxe Portfolio Edition
Located in Hillsborough, NJ
Author: Moukarzel, Roger.
Title: Le Voile: The Journey of the Veil. 12-25 December, 2007.
Publisher: Abu Dhabi Music and Arts Foundation (ADMAF), 2007.
Description: Deluxe portfolio edition. 2-1/4" x 23-3/4" x 17-3/4", ten colored photographs (22-1/4" x 16-1/4"), each signed by Moukarzel in print. In the original maroon cloth bound portfolio with the book (text in English and Arabic), and veil.
Condition: Like new
Additional information: Roger Moukarzel is an internationally published documentary and fashion photographer. Born in Beirut in 1962, Moukarzel’s interest in war photography began when he was a teenager. For fifteen years, he worked for news agencies Sygma and Reuters, photographing the essence of combat and the resilience of humanity under the harshest circumstances.
Moukarzel’s photo-documentaries have been featured in many international publications. France’s legendary Paris Match printed one of his photographs – a scene of destruction and mayhem on a Beirut street – on the cover of its 40th anniversary issue.
Years spent documenting turmoil and disaster took a mental and physical toll on Moukarzel. He eventually shifted to fashion photography, a more glamorous (and less dangerous) field. In his own words, he explains: "A shift from scenes of death… to scenes of life A shift from the ugly face of war...
