Influential Photographers - Sebastião Salgado

Sebastião Salgado was born in 1944 in Brazil. Salgado traveled around the world for photography.

Between 2004 and 2011, Salgado worked on a project named "Genesis". The goal was to capture unblemished faces of nature and humanity. 

"Genesis" is a heavy book filled with stunning photographs all in black and white.

This book is a piece of art showing images from all over the world. Images from places difficult to reach, from places difficult to live in, from places most of us would even not reach once in a lifetime.
It is one example of how impressive all black and white photography can be.

Salgado gave a TED talk in 2013 which is worth watching: link
He explains the circumstances under which his photographs have been taken as well as what drives him in taking all the burden and risk in order to capture these images to be shown to the world.
