Reva Brooks (May 1913 – 24 January 2004) was a Canadian photographer who did much of her work in and around San Miguel de Allende in Mexico.

Moritz arrived in Toronto in 1905 and began work in the Jewish garment district on Spadina Avenue, and after three years had saved enough money to send for Jenny, whom he married at once.

[7] That same year, Reva Brooks sold one of her most famous photographs, Confrontation, a picture taken by Brooks in 1948 of a mother grieving over her dead child, to Edward Steichen, director of photography at the Museum of Modern Art (MOMA) in New York,[4] and in 1955 the work was included in the MOMA's The Family of Man exhibition, one of the first major exhibitions of photography.

(It was included in a section addressing the idea of “universal death” - the consequence of the hydrogen bomb, still a postwar fear in public consciousness).

[7] In 1975, Dead Child, of the boy in Confrontation, was included in her series of five photographs in the exhibition Women of Photography: An Historical Survey, at the San Francisco Museum of Art.

[7] Although individual photographers remained unnamed in favour of an all-encompassing theme of optimism, Reva’s images were identifiable by subject due to their human interest.
