Talk description

Jimmy Nelson is a photographer who in 2009, embarked on his largest project to date: For three years, he travelled and photographed over 30 indigenous tribes in Europe, Asia, South America and the South-Pacific, using a 50-year-old 4×5 inch camera. In the mountains, the icy fields, the jungle, along the rivers and valleys – Jimmy Nelson found the last tribe members and observed them. “Before They Pass Away” is the name of his project and stands as a testimony to his work. His stories, pictures and insights are all quickly becoming documentaries shared on TV.
