Morocco (1995) by Magnum Photos photographer Bruno Barbey. "Because of his respect of local customs, Barbey has seldom, if ever, made portraits in close-up in Morocco. He prefers to shoot his subjects from a distance as– maybe unaware or dismissive of his presence– they sit, dream or concentrate on daily tasks," wrote autor Carole Naggar of the late photographer.
