Description

Ian Berry first visited South Africa as a boy of seventeen and returned many times to record the ordinary lives of those living in extraordinary circumstances, and capturing many of the country’s most significant moments. His photographs portray life in a country where until relatively recently segregation was institutionalized and regulated by the government. Here, students from Witwatersand University protest at a demonstration in 1961.

Ian Berry was born in Lancashire, England. He made his reputation in South Africa, where he worked for the Daily Mail and later for Drum magazine. He was the only photographer to document the massacre at Sharpeville in 1960, and his photographs were used in the trial to prove the victims’ innocence.

Henri Cartier-Bresson invited Ian Berry to join Magnum in 1962 when he was based in Paris. He moved to London in 1964 to become the first contract photographer for the Observer Magazine. Since then assignments have taken him around the world: he has documented Russia’s invasion of Czechoslovakia; conflicts in Israel, Ireland, Vietnam and the Congo; famine in Ethiopia; apartheid in South Africa, the political and social transformation in China and the former USSR.
