He produced 26 books of photography, five with his literary collaborator John Berger and one with Edward Said. He was most famous for his lifelong documentary collaboration with John Berger on six volumes. His other major life's project was the photography of Palestinian refugees over a fifty-year period, from his first ICRC assignment in 1949, through the Six-Day War in 1967, to an assignment there for the ICRC in 2002.
