Sebastiào Salgado


Sebastiào Salgado was born on February 8, 1944. Salgado had studied economics, but had began his career as a photographer in 1973 in Paris, France. He had worked for various photo agencies for a while, until he and Lelia Selgado formed Amazonas Images, an agency that was created exclusively for just his work. He had traveled all over the world for his work for his projects. Many of his images appeared in books and press publications. Salgado has had a very successful career receiving many awards and being recognized for his magnificent artwork. 
I personally really enjoyed Salgado's photos because many of them demonstrated the poor and the powerless people. These images really conveyed these peoples lives very accurately and really had a strong emotional appeal to many people like me. They make you realize what some people really go through day by day in their everyday lives. 
The image I chose below is one by Salgado, and really displays all of his photographs well. It shows what the poor people go through day by day. In this image, a women had her baby are displayed, they are represented as being filthy dirty and very skinny. This shows that these people do not have much access to food or clean water and live rough lives. The image really makes you feel sensitive for these people and other people who have to go through their lives like this.
