“What I want is the world to remember the problems and the people I photograph. What I want is to create a discussion about what is happening around the world and to provoke some debate with these pictures. Nothing more than this. I don’t want people to look at them and appreciate the light and the palate of tones. I want them to look inside and see what the pictures represent, and the kind of people I photograph.”
~ Sebastião Salgado
ENQUIRE ABOUT THIS WORK
Sebastião Salgado's impactful black-and-white images focus on social issues and human conditions. Childhood might just be the most fleeting and precious of human conditions that we can find around the world. For me the charm of this image stems from the innocence and spontaneity of the scene. A moment of play between friends. A genuine moment of connection.
