I have a show coming up in Barcelona in June! Here's a sneak peek...

I'm in Istanbul for a little while doing some research on a future project!



It's a lovely city even if the weather is a little off right now. I'm looking forward to spending much more time here in the future but this visit is helping me understand just how much this nation bridges Asia and Europe...

In other news I've joined the World Policy Institute as a Project Leader!



Some might think it odd that a photojournalist like myself has joined a think tank but I've always been interested in photography as a vehicle to drive discussion, not simply transmit information. If you missed it here's a link to an article I wrote and photographed for World Policy Journal about the asylum system in Austria

There is some good news today! I've been selected as a Knight Luce religion reporting fellow. From the release:

Damaso Reyes will investigate the growth of European Pentecostalism led by immigrants from former European colonies. Reporting from Spain, England and Ukraine, Reyes will examine how Charismatic faiths are growing while traditional European Christian religious observance continues to decline. Reyes is a photographer and writer whose work has appeared in The Wall Street Journal, Der Spiegel, and The Christian Science Monitor.


I am looking forward to expanding the story I've been working on and seeing where it takes me!

If you haven't gotten a chance to see what I've done on Pentecostals de Barcelona so far please visit this link!

One of the things I love about coming back to a story over time is how much deeper you can go...

Another year documenting Europe's changing face!


When I first started this project I never thought I'd still be working on it in 2012 but here we are. I'm excited to be back in Barcelona and am looking forward to what I will find over the next few months...
