A photographic homage to our planet in its natural state.
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. Raised on a farm in Brazil, Salgado possessed a deep love and respect for nature; he was also particularly sensitive to the ways in which human beings are affected by their often devastating socio-economic conditions. Of the myriad works Salgado has produced in his acclaimed career, three long-term projects stand out: Workers (1993), documenting the vanishing way of life of manual laborers across the world, Migrations (2000), a tribute to mass migration driven by hunger, natural disasters, environmental degradation and demographic pressure, and this new opus, Génesis, the result of an epic eight-year expedition to rediscover the mountains, deserts and oceans, the animals and peoples that have so far escaped the imprint of modern society—the land and life of a still-pristine planet. “Some 46% of the planet is still as it was in the time of genesis,” Salgado reminds us. “We must preserve what exists.” The Génesis project, along with the Salgados’ Instituto Terra, are dedicated to showing the beauty of our planet, reversing the damage done to it, and preserving it for the future.
Over 30 trips—travelled by foot, light aircraft, seagoing vessels, canoes, and even balloons, through extreme heat and cold and in sometimes dangerous conditions—Salgado created a collection of images showing us nature, animals, and indigenous peoples in breathtaking beauty. Mastering the monochrome with an extreme deftness to rival the virtuoso Ansel Adams, Salgado brings black-and-white photography to a new dimension; the tonal variations in his works, the contrasts of light and dark, recall the works of Old Masters such as Rembrandt and Georges de La Tour.
Lélia Wanick Salgado estudió Arquitectura y Urbanismo en París. En 1970, empezó a interesarse por la fotografía y, en la década de 1980, pasó a concebir y diseñar la mayoría de los libros de fotografías de Sebastião Salgado y todas las exposiciones de su obra.
En 1973, Sebastião Salgado (1944–2025) empezó su carrera de fotógrafo profesional en París y trabajó para las agencias fotográficas Sygma, Gamma y Magnum Photos. En 1994, junto con su esposa, Lélia Wanick Salgado, creó la agencia Amazonas images, que gestiona su obra en exclusiva. Los proyectos fotográficos de Salgado han aparecido en muchas exposiciones y libros, como Sahel. El fin del camino (1988), Otras Américas (1986), Terra (1997), Éxodos (2000), Retratos de los niños del éxodo (2000), Africa (2007), Génesis (2013), The Scent of a Dream (2015), Kuwait.
