The work of Luc Delahaye (born 1962) is grounded in a rigorous and austere approach that makes full use of the possibilities of photographic recording and gives the experience of reality as much weight as the image itself. A war photojournalist in the 1980s and 1990s and a former member of
Magnum, he chose to follow a different path in 2001. His photographs, often large in scale, convey a presence in the world and, with restraint yet directly, bear witness to this troubled world inhabited by individuals confronted with the upheavals of history, from present-day wars to the memory of past conflicts.
