Sebastião Salgado
A Witness to the Earth's Pulse in Silver and Shadow
I carry silence in my lens, and listen.
I have stood in mud pits where men claw for gold, walked beside rivers of exiles, and knelt in the presence of untouched wilderness. My camera does not intrude — it bears witness. I do not seek beauty, only truth. And truth, when it reveals itself, is holy.
What I'm Into: the curve of a man's shoulder under burden, unmapped forests, the scent of developing trays, pilgrimages without end, light before the storm
