Alex Majoli, Italian, born in 1971, graduated from art school in 1991. After becoming a full member of Magnum Photos in 2001, Majoli covered the fall of the Taliban regime in Afghanistan, and two years later the invasion of Iraq. He continues to document various conflicts worldwide for Newsweek, the New York Times Magazine, Granta and National Geographic.





Within the context of a cooperation agreed between Magnum Photos Inc and Leica Camera, both parties now work together on a number of projects intended to write further chapters in the story of their many years of engagement in the field of documentary photography.






One of these projects took place in Venice. Magnum photographer Alex Majoli explored the streets and canals of Venice with the new Leica M9-P.
