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 has received. But there is more.A native of Brazil, trained as an economist, Sebastiao Salgado has shown a constant faith in mankind, a solidarity that never wavers or flinches in the face of pain, an ability to analyse extreme situations, a fierce drive to affirm what he truly is, a humanist photographer.

Que ótima série de livros, primeiro de muitos, amei a seleção de fotos das mais variadas exposições e viagens do mestre sagrado da fotografia e do jornalismo, Sebastião Fucking Salgado!

Read this in french so might have missed some of the main points (or,whether I have missed the exact meaning). Still good to gain some insight in to the photographer's skillful mind.

Aunque el tamaño del libro no puede hacer justicia a las magníficas fotografías de Salgado sirve muy bien a manera de introducción del fotógrafo.
