Product Description
Product Description
Salgados 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, Sebastião 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.

This is a very handy, tiny but effective, overview of Salgado's work. It covers his different subject matters he's so well known for and also a good retrospective. The one thing that I have to inevitably point out is that some of the photos really, really need a larger medium than this Photofile edition. The quality is very good, though and the amount of text that accompanies the reproductions is quite optimal. Once you go through this cute little volume, you'll definitely develop quite an appetite for his work :)

Beautiful images, tiny book
2 July 2007
Format:Paperback
Sabastiao Salgado created some of the most amazing photographs ever seen, but this book is disappointingly small. The price is low, so I don't regret buying it.

A Great Introduction and Value
22 Jun 2009
Format:Paperback
For centuries, the portraitist's art has been reserved for the wealthy and powerful. The advent of the camera opened up portraiture to a wider selection of society. However, the groups still missing are the people at the very bottom. The world's marginal are Sebastiao Salgado's special purview. The depth and sensitivity of his portraits move him far beyond the artitistic palette of the photo-journalist.
The Photofile series was originally produced in France with the purpose of serving as a low cost introduction to the world's great photographers. Fortunately for us, the series has been translated into English. The books are small in size but they make up for this limitation by being very well made. The paper is heavy and the photographic reproductions are first class. The books in the Photofile series are a great value and a wonderful introduction to the great photographers of the Twentieth Century. Highly recommended.

i honestly dont know what can be said to this this justice. Its simple, a collection of stunning, thought provoking pictures by a master. But that is like saying poetry is just a bunch of characters on a page. For me, this is a view into a life of travel documentary photography at its best that i want to follow, in my own way. This is a treasure, and i imagine the whole series will prove to be the same. I also have the Henri Cartier-Bresson edition and i cant say enough about that!
