Iconic Photographer Latif Al-ani Travels Across Iraq to Find the People and Places He took photos of before the Wars.
Acclaimed photographer Latif al-ani, born in Baghdad in 1932, is known as the father of Iraqi photography. As the official photographer for Presidents and the Iraqi Petroleum Company, his portfolio forms a unique visual archive of iraq during its Heyday from the 1950s to 1970s.
His photos capture the abundance and complexity of a modern and cosmopolitan nation living in peace and harmony. But when Saddam Hussein Rose to Power, Al-Ani Stopped Taking Photos. After decades of war, al-ani travels Across Iraq with his photographs in search of the remnants of his beautiful country.
Iraq’s Invisible Beauty is a documentary film by Sahim Omar Califa and Jurgen Buedts.
