Life and work

Self-taught, Reik has been a freelance photographer since 1983, specialising in portraiture and reportage. She was a member of Format, the UK's first women's photographic agency. She took part in Side Gallery's Unclear Family project, a portrait of family life in early 1990s South West Durham. 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".
