Sebastião Salgado. Genesis. 45th Edition

Earth Eternal. A photographic homage to our planet “In GENESIS, my camera allowed nature to speak to me. And it was my privilege to listen.” —Sebastião Salgado. On a very fortuitous day in 1970, 26-year-old Sebastião Salgado held a camera for the first time. When he looked through the viewfinder, he experienced a revelation: suddenly life made sense. From that day onward—though it took years of hard work before he had the experience to earn his living as a photographe the camera became his tool for interacting with the world. Salgado, who “always preferred the chiaroscuro palette of black-and-white images,” shot very little color in his early career before giving it up completely. Salgado calls GENESIS “my love letter to the planet.” Hardcover, 512 pp. PRE-ORDER YOUR COPY NOW.
