Latif al-Ani, a prominent figure in Iraqi photography born in 1932, is celebrated for his work documenting Iraq's vibrant society from the 1950s to the 1970s. Known as the father of Iraqi photography, he was the official photographer for presidents and captured daily life in a modern, peaceful Iraq. Following years of war and the rise of Saddam Hussein, al-Ani ceased taking photos. In a reflective journey across Iraq, he seeks to find the remnants of his homeland, embodied in his past photographs, as presented in the documentary 'Iraq's Invisible Beauty.'
Latif al-Ani's journey across Iraq reflects a quest to reconnect with the beauty of a country transformed by decades of war, capturing its essence through his past photographs.
The nostalgia in Latif al-Ani's work serves as a poignant reminder of Iraq's rich and diverse history before the ravaging impact of conflict shaped its landscape and people.
