A photographic homage to our planet

“In GENESIS, my camera allowed nature to speak to me. And it was my privilege to listen.” —Sebastião Salgado

On a very fortuitous day in 1970, 26-year-old Sebastião Salgado held a camera for the first time. When he looked through the viewfinder, he experienced a revelation: suddenly life made sense. From that day onward—though it took years of hard work before he had the experience to earn his living as a photographer—the camera became his tool for interacting with the world.

People aren't entirely absent though - he visited a variety of indigenous tribes, including the Omo Valley tribes in Ethiopia, the Zo'é in Brazil, and the Nenets of Siberia.

The exhibition at the Natural History Museum is the global p
