Salgado is plausibly the most known Brazilian photographer of his time. Appreciated for his magistral use of light, he has obtained several international prizes during his career. His photographs represent hard workers, peasants, marginal people, Indigenous people, proletarians, people in camps and diasporas, from all regions of the world. His latest project, “Genesis”, defined by himself as a sort of “antropologia planetaria”, brought him to the most remote regions of Himalaya, Siberia, Argentina, Galapagos, Central Africa, Amazon Forest, and other places, to render the intimate connections between humans, animals, plants, the elements, the geological layers of the earth, the environment.
