Alex became a full member of Magnum Photos in 1979.

He s received numerous awards, including a Guggenheim Fellowship in 2007. His work has appeared in the New York Times Magazine, National Geographic, and GEO, among other publications. REBECCA NORRIS WEBB: originally a poet, often interweaves her text and photographs in her six books, most notably with her monograph, My Dakota-an elegy for her brother who died unexpectedly-with a solo exhibition of the work at The Cleveland Museum of Art in 2015. Her work has appeared in The New Yorker, The New York Times Magazine, Le Monde, among other publications, and is in the collections of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, Cleveland Museum of Art, and George Eastman Museum, Rochester, NY.
By the end of this modest but exquisite book, even viewers
unfamiliar with either of the Webbs will have a pretty good idea of
their individual strengths and tendencies, as well as of, as it
