Sebastiao Salgado: The Photographer as Activist
Leave a comment ?
I saw his photographic exhibition at the San Francisco Museum Of Modern Art SFMOMA,i have to admit,i was quite impressed with his work….each image tell a story and convey a thought.
I love his work and James Nachtwey’s work.
excellent work!
YEAH!
Looking back at your ass.
SUCKER!
Master of photography. There’s a good film on him called “looking back at you”.
It was really impressing to see how his life and work are the same!! He is one of a kind!
His work is a must for any of us who dout the imortance of a social conscious within the modern documentry context. His images are a important reflection of the social justice issues he is commenting on.
Salgado is one of my favorite photographers. He’s right up there with Ansel Adams IMHO.
I remember hearing Rich Clarkson, former director of photography of National Geographic say at the Missouri Photo workshop (sponsored by the University of Missouri-Colombia School of Journalism) that Salgado was the greatest living photojournalist. He’s right. And Salgado still is.
Superb!
