About this title

Synopsis:

From a Brazilian mine where 50,000 mud-covered men haul heavy bags of dirt up and down slippery ladders in search of a stray nugget of gold, to a former lake in western Africa now swallowed by the encroaching desert, where emaciated, starving people walk over its surface of sand, photographer Sebasti�o Salgado explores the live of the planet's often ignored people with a critical eye and an empathetic heart.

About the Author:

Born in Brazil in 1944, Sebasti�o Salgado began his career as an economist before shifting to photography in 1973. Sebasti�o Salgado has covered major news events around the world - the attempted assassination of President Ronald Reagan, wars in Angola and the Spanish Sahara, the taking of Israeli hostages in Entebbe, while also pursuing more personal and in-depth documentary projects. For seven years he roamed Latin America, walking for days to remote mountain villages; the result of this journey was Autres Ameriques (Other Americas), which received the Kodak/City of Paris award.
