Dotan Saguy

"Dotan Saguy's heartfelt photo essay on the Reis Family is both an honest reflection on the other side of the American Dream and a testament to the power of family and love. Not since Sally Mann's "Immediate Family" has there been anything as poweful or dare I say it so beautiful on this subject matter" --Peter Fetterman, Peter Fetterman Gallery

Dotan Saguy has the eye of an artist and the soul of a journalist. His powerful, intimate and emotional images allow the viewer to connect with the Reis family on an incredibly personal level. We see not only their daily lives and their unique environment but also their closeness. He brings their struggles to life but more importantly the joy and happiness that surrounds them. This work documents their family bond that will last a lifetime. --Mary Cooney, Director of Photography, Los Angeles Times

"Dotan Saguy is a wonder. His deep photographic entanglement with the Reis family has produced a masterpiece. The work is elegant, profound, and celebratory. Think of it as a roadmap for the creative quest. Together, Saguy and his subjects explore the outer bounds of what it means to be truly free--as an artist and as a human being." --Douglas McCulloh, Senior Curator, California Museum of Photography
