Description
Magnum Photos was the first photographic agancy to be founded by photographers themselves, or as Henri Cartier-Bresson described them, by ‘adventurers with ethics.’ Magnum owes its reputation to the talent of its members, who have never swerved from the principles of its founders: solidarity and respect for individuality. What unites all of these photographers, however, is their understanding of journalism and the warmly human gaze that they cast upon the world.
