Many months spent with the subject, the economics are known in the production style to do the interview, which was thorough and the foundation, captures the Africa of hunger in up to now "SAHEL (Sahel)" and, physical labor who disappear in the modernization It announced, such as "man of the earth labor", which interviewed.

I was strongly attracted to Salgado is, in Tokyo photo exhibition, which was held in six years ago, from watching a piece that captures the Dinka people sweet grazing camp in South Sudan. Herd of cattle is it he a state to come back to the camp, but the cows of Sunami Sudan's Dinka people draw no hesitation curve, is back with firm of people who take along the cows, backlight a dusty camp on the stage It was deprived of an eye on the manner in which illuminated by projected on. Has praised the composition and enter condition, such as the perfect beauty of the light, it is that he documentary works by news photographer, could not believe the flurry.

The role of the news photo is, the fact that what is happening in front of the eye, visually inform it to those who do not know it. Battlefield of the state and, to record a fingernail mark of the natural disaster, its intensity to people who are not a party to the event, to be able to convey the regret of, but the real thrill of news photography. But Salgado photos of tell is not just it. Look full of warmth of the mother to raise the child in a refugee camp, men of strength to strive to physical labor in the mining field, dwindling was such as how the children play happily, photo group of Salgado is one side or something poor Toka very likely conjures strongly the sense that do not fit on the basis of impressions. The only one of presence, come pose the root of the fact that to live a person in what you see. Heck to take such a photo, how can When you do. Salgado is hell, what way do we have to look at this world. Through the same documentary, aloof photographer Salgado Mr. peek through the viewfinder, I want you to stare at the look.
