Features: Salgado is a master photographer who "breathes the same air as the suffering," earning the Eugene Smith Award in the United States in 1982 for his photographs' profound humanistic spirit. In 1985 and 1992, he won the Oscar Barnack Award at the World Press Photo Competition twice in a row for his photo essays "Famine in Ethiopia" and "Terror in Kuwait." He shares a lineage with predecessors like Brassai, yet possesses his own unique traits: he pursues the "decisive moment" while immersing himself in the communities he photographs for extended periods, adding depth to his images. This book features over 30 of his representative works, offering a glimpse into the realist style of this master photographer.
