“In GENESIS, my camera allowed nature to speak to me. And it was my privilege to listen.”
~ Sebastião Salgado
Our friend, Sebastião Salgado is renowned for his striking black and white documentary photography that highlights global social and environmental issues. His work's significance lies in its ability to evoke deep emotions and raise awareness about human struggles, labor, migration, and environmental challenges. Salgado's image of the gorilla evokes those deep emotions. Poised on the edge of the shot, this animal is undeniably regal. A celebration of a beautiful and endangered creature.
