Bombay India, 1981<\/em> [\u00a9 Alex Webb]<\/p>\n

Alex Webb\u2019s Photo London exhibition will feature selected images of the photographer\u2019s colour work from 1979-2010 \u2013 taken with Leica M cameras \u2013 alongside pictures shot in Cuba and photos captured in Mexico over more than 30 years.<\/p>\n

Webb, who joined\u00a0the\u00a0famed agency Magnum Photos 40 years ago, said: \u2018This work comes out of the singular obsession that I have had in my photographic life \u2013 working in intense vibrant colour, largely in the tropics.\u2019<\/p>\n

Webb worked in the south of the US in the mid-1970s, where he documented small-town life in monochrome and began to explore Haiti and the US\/Mexico border area.<\/p>\n

He first developed an interest in photography at high school.<\/p>\n

A spokesperson for Leica, which is an official partner of Photo London, said: \u2018As he worked more in the Caribbean and Mexico \u2013 places where, as he has said, vibrant colour seems almost embedded in the cultures \u2013 his response was to start photographing in colour, which he has continued to this day.\u2019<\/p>\n

Webb has published 14 books and exhibited at museums and galleries worldwide.<\/p>\n

His work has appeared in many international publications, including National Geographic<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The exhibition, entitled ‘Alex Webb: Selections\u2019, will take place in the Navy Board Room at Somerset House, which plays to host Photo London from 19-22 May.<\/p>\n

The photographer will be taking part in book signings at the event on 21 and 22 May.<\/p>\n

Photo London takes place at Somerset House, Strand, London WC2R 1LA.<\/p>\n
