The Photojournalist Using His Camera to Level the Score

Emily Gosling, AnOther Magazine, June 22, 2017

Over his 60 years in photographic reportage, Neil Libbert has turned his lens to the good, the bad and the unfair, a new exhibition demonstrates.

 

Over his almost 60-year career photographer Neil Libbert has shot everything from the Brixton Riots to George Best, a young Helen Mirren, the folk working at a DHSS Benefit Office, and children playing on the streets of Harlem in the 1960s. Whatever his subject and whenever it was shot, Libbert’s knack for capturing those tiny moments that tell a thousand stories make each photograph as brilliant and revelatory as the next.
