		Abbas, Iranian-born photographer and a member of the Magnum collective, strikes a precise balance between the terms compounded in the name of his profession -- photojournalism.
		Abbas' best-known pictures are of the Iranian Revolution, and he chose to present these at the Townhouse gallery last week together with more recent pictures of the country to which he returned after a long, self-imposed exile in 1997.
		Abbas has woven many such visual codes into a style that identifies the photographs as his whether they are from Cuba or Afghanistan or the Philippines.

	Abbas + Henrik Saxgren: Voodoo (Water Rituals)
		In the context of the Year of Water, and on the occasion of the Rotterdam Photobiennial, Noorderlicht presents a show in the World Museum with two photographers who have captured voodoo-rituals in Haiti in a remarkable way: Danish Henrik Saxgren and Iranian (living in France) Abbas.
		In 1995 Saxgren photographed a voodoo-meeting in the village Plaine du Nord, in the utmost north of the island.
		He also photographed at Seau d'eau, a sacred waterfall where the religious take a 'fortune bath' under the influence of herbal medicine and perfumes, and ask the 'loas' to give them strength, and in Limonade where tribute is paid to Saint Philomene, a spirit closely related to Africa.

	The Daily Star - Arts & Culture - Abbas: 'A photographer is one who writes with light'
		The photographer pulls his trademark scarf off his neck and wraps it around his head, while explaining the multiple functions of the cloth: It protects against the sun, the wind, as well as the cold.
		Refusing to bow before the tyrannies of modern-day photojournalism, with its 24 hour newscoverage and tight deadlines, Abbas insists on taking his time, spending up to several months on a shoot, which is generally part of a bigger project.
		Through his haunting fl and white pictures, Abbas subtly reveals the complexities of a society in the throes of a social, political as well as cultural revolution.

	Abbas. Allah O Akbar ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		The Iranian-born photographer Abbas, a staff photographer for Magnum Photos in Paris, travelled in twenty-nine Muslim countries from West Africa to China in an effort to try the pulse and flavor of fundamentalist Islam.
		Abbas, who makes no bones about the fact that his religion is artistic creativity, finds the whole phenomenon slightly repulsive even as it fascinates him.
		Violence and death features prominently in these pictures, from the Qur'anic teacher in the Sudan bearing a whip to a profusion of slaughtered animal parts to the appalling parade of young Iranian men triumphantly carrying the corpse of a prostitute they had burnt to death.

		Some photos are memorable and give honour to the talented photographer but there does not seem to be any integrity at all, the book is nothing more than a collection of photographic notes taken in different lands.
		In the end, I see the book as a fascinating personal project in which a photographer was exploring his own ideas about a world religion, but in the end offered up confusing notions of the faith to match the confused notions of some he was photographing.

		After his fall the images were used by that same people in order to express the hate and rage that had built up through the years of oppression: the photographs were ripped from the wall, murals smeared, and statues decapitated.

		Abbas is a photographer of great talent, able to reveal the startling in the seemingly ordinary, and to make remarkable visual compositions from the sometimes bizarre religious rituals and individuals he observes.
		Abbas himself is scandalised when he finds "educated students" who are still believers.
		Overall, however, although the book takes a very selective and unrepresentative look at "The Faces of Christianity", it is highly memorable: Abbas's skill is marvellous, his commentary candid, incisive, and thought provoking, and the book is a fascinating tour of some of the stranger and more striking faces of religion.

	ArtForum: Abbas Kiarostami
		Rather than by any linear progression of years, time is defined by cycles of seasons and moments of the day; space corresponds not to a point on a map but to a fragmented existential geography.
		Such anti-snapshots demand patience on the part of photographer and viewer alike: meticulous preparation at one end (from the search for the proper "location," composition, lighting, etc. to the "editing" of the image in the laboratory, notably via sporting) and an equally meticulous observation at the other.
		As might be expected, the latter exercise is distinctly reminiscent of watching a Kiarostami film-or rather, since Kiarostami has spoken of his "unfinished cinema," deliberately left open to the viewer's creative spirit, of "finishing" one.

		The book, which overflows with photographs and comes with only the briefest amount of text, is arranged thematically to effectively highlight the wide scope of images even within a narrow field.
		In "Religion," photographer Abbas trains his lens both on a man reenacting the Crucifixion in the Philippines and a woman being physically moved by the Holy Spirit in a rural Georgia church.
