About

Roland Neveu began his career in the early 1970s after a stint at the university of Rennes, in Brittany.
Quickly immersing himself in the ‘grand reportage’ arena, he became one of the few western photojournalists to witness the fall of Phnom Penh to the Khmer Rouge in 1975 and followed the refugee crisis in the following years.
For almost two decades he travelled to hot spots around the world on assignment for leading international magazines like Time and Newsweek. Roland Neveu’s stories have ranged from documenting the first Soviet prisoners of war in Afghanistan’s mudjahedeen holy war to Beirut’s siege in mid-1982 and sub-sequent war in Lebanon until 1985. He also covered El Salvador’s bloody feud, the NPA guerilla struggle in the Philippines and the fall of Marcos as well as producing the first images of AIDS in Uganda in 1986. He co-authored TV stories on Aids in Uganda, the Touareg rebellion in the Sahara, the Kurds refugees at the Turk-Irak border in 1991.
His international reputation as a photo-journalist helped launch a career in the film industry where he worked as stills photographer with top Hollywood directors including Oliver Stone, Brian de Palma and Ridley Scott.
He work on Matt Dillon movie ‘City of Ghosts’; it was shot in Cambodia. All along he regularly travel to Cambodia which over the years had become one of his most sought after stories.
Recent works includes books, book design and publishing about S-E Asia and travel and social photography.
