Sebastiao Salgado quotes about
photography people community
We live in a society where we never prepare people to be a community.
photography men race
We are one human race, and there must be understanding among all men. For those who look at the problems of today, my big hope is that they understand. That they understand that the population is quite big enough, that they must be informed that they must have economic development, that they must have social development, and must be integrated into all parts of the world.
photography tip-of-the-iceberg littles
I tell a little bit of my life to them, and they tell a little of theirs to me. The picture itself is just the tip of the iceberg.
photography people giving
There are moments that you suffer a lot, moments you won't photograph. There are some people you like better than others. But you give, you receive, you cherish, you are there. When you are really there, you know when you see the picture later what you are seeing.
photography paris sao-paulo
I discovered that close to half the planet is 'pristine.' We live in towns such as London, Paris or Sao Paulo and have the impression that all the pristine areas are gone, but they are not.
photography art years
I can be an artist a posteriori, not a priori. If my pictures tell the story, our story, human story, then in a hundred years, then they can be considered an art reference, but now they are not made as art. I'm a journalist. My life's on the road, my studio is the planet.
photography way seeing
...my way of photographing is my way of life. I photograph from my experience, my way of seeing things...
photography paris wife
I discovered photography completely by chance. My wife is an architect; when we were young and living in Paris, she bought a camera to take pictures of buildings. For the first time, I looked through a lens - and photography immediately started to invade my life.
