Alex Webb

Known for: densely layered color photography at cultural border zones

Alex Webb joined Magnum Photos in 1976 and has spent the following decades photographing the border zones between cultures — the Caribbean, the American Southwest, Haiti, Mexico — with a dense, layered color style that packs multiple narrative planes into a single frame. His wife, Rebecca Norris Webb, is also a photographer and frequent collaborator. He has said that he is drawn to situations he does not understand.
