Sebasti¦O Salgado

Featuring 63 of his most acclaimed photographs, this is the perfect primer on Sebasti¦o Salgado (1944-2025), the legendary Brazilian social documentary photographer and photojournalist. Sebasti¦o Salgado's images of the Sahel famine and his colossal project 'Workers' would be enough to make his reputation and justify all the awards he received. But there is more. A native of Brazil, trained as an economist, Sebasti¦o Salgado showed a constant faith in mankind, a solidarity that never wavered nor flinched in the face of pain, an ability to analyse extreme situations, a fierce drive to affirm what he truly was, a humanist photographer. The Photofile Series Photofile brings together the best work of the world's greatest photographers in an attractive, accessible, pocket-sized format. Handsome and collectable, the books are printed to the highest standards. Each one contains over sixty full-page reproductions printed in superb duotone, together with a critical introduction and a full bibliography.
