Quotes by Sebastião Salgado (?)

“The picture is not made by the photographer, the picture is more good or less good in function of the relationship that you have with the people you photograph.”

“We are living in a moment where we have broken the equilibrium of the planet. We are not paying attention to our intuitive side. We only pay attention to our reason. We have become an urban animal”

“Whenever possible, Salgado lives for a while with the people he photographs. “I tell a little bit of my life to them, and they tell a little of theirs to me. The picture itself is just the tip of the iceberg.”
― Sebastião Salgado
