Life and work
[edit | edit source]Self-taught, Reik has been a freelance photographer since 1983, specialising in portraiture and reportage.[1] She was a member of Format, the UK's first women's photographic agency.[2] She took part in Side Gallery's Unclear Family project, a portrait of family life in early 1990s South West Durham.[3] Later in the 1990s, she undertook a documentary series in which she returned to the North West London Jewish community she grew up in, "having distanced herself from it as a young adult".[4]
