His images of Africa, the United States, and the Far and Middle East taken throughout the 1950s-70s reveal the influence of Henri Cartier-Bresson's "decisive moment." At the invitation of Cartier-Bresson and Robert Capa, Riboud joined magnum Photos in 1954, serving as vice president (1958-59) and president (1974) before leaving the agency in 1978. Born in Lyon, Riboud served in the Free French Army (the resistance) from 1943-45 and was awarded the croix de guerre (1945). He studied engineering at the École Centrale, Lyons (1945-48), working as an industrial engineer from 1948-52. In 1953, having taught himself photography, Riboud launched into a full-time freelance career. He has covered stories around the world, including the coronation of Nepal's King Mahendra (1955), the struggle for independence in the Congo (1960-61), the march in Washington protesting the Vietnam War (1967), and Muslims in central Asia (1979). In 1969 Riboud traveled to North Vietnam to interview and photograph Ho Chi Minh, and was the last European journalist to interview the leader before his death. He has twice won the Overseas Press Club Award (1967, 1970). Riboud lives in Paris.

Even today, a single family might include both a camel trader who encounters over 11,000 specimens of livestock each year at the fair, as well as a businessperson rushing to their urban job, not unlike those in Manhattan’s fast-paced environment. --- RELATED WORKS --- CITATIONS --- IMAGES
