women in afghanistan. migration to cities in india. and this man from former yugoslavia. as an exile from his own country so i've got a wide enterprise with their plight. what does your biography mean for your photography. is it important that you come from brazil is it to have the experience as a refugee to live in far way from home i was an activist to politics lefties to young bad octavius to i made the many grades on a stop. is too good in a court of a social science and that when they came out the procedure. the day that the become a photographer obese was inside the being obese is my head at that age

and i mean could my photography is not that them of activists that they must so show football for that they have. a fault to recall just nothing this is because i love photography because i photographed it what they told to that was important politically. so see i live human in that what i love what i i. i so for me. my photography it's my way of life as much. more than that you think that that i tried just my luck with you and i think they'll go to the old you see you're the star that i need proof of. time and time again as he travels through places devastated by crisis and war target or comes across children. often they're looking for a new home often they're looking for their parents always they're the ones who suffer most they're the subject of another series children.

1904 was another turning point for us i got on in rwanda he witnessed the aftermath of the genocide it was carnage millions of displaced people bodies heaped by the side of the road the stark evidence of what humans are capable of doing to another made him sick psychologically physically. so i got to return to his parents abandoned farm in the brazilian rain forest to his horror little remained of the lush landscape it left behind. the trees he remembered were almost completely gone . his wife for nearly a proposed to be healed the land and replant the forest the couple founded the instituto terra and with the help of experts and local workers they replanted nearly 3000000 trees over the next 15 years.

the restored forests include 290 different species while over 170 bird species are returned along with pumas and leopards. the land made a miraculous recovery. and so did suck out of. but the rain forest dispersed. almost 500000 tech bears were destroyed in aug 29th dean many deliberately ignited to clear the forest for farming cattle ranching . what

happens in a muscle and is very special in the last 50 s. we destroy a lot of homicide we destroy evolved to 19 per cent of the amazon i think in less than 15 years. that means the model that you had before brazil for all the wall is a proud that part more off economy is despite the thought of the moderate to destroy it i'm not so but you know after that mr bush for not having a ball and go through them all caught the electorate is not that deep will dictate into but his position in direction of 5 months on is to this

apes picked up the ship finished was supposed to go back and does want to have our kids in for us would have one child with that the has down's syndrome and if race jokes were quite hectic up to kids in france are so good so well but bad that in brazil not that we take decision to stay because our son and we love the frappes is our culture that to receive us so well we are also french and after that we started to split our life between brazil and france in or out of that i had proof of the. best yasar gado returned to brazil to recover and to help the nature he grew up with recover. and also to document the vital importance of the natural environment ultimately this is what led him to what might be his most ambitious project ever his epic series genesis. the project took so bustos how it got over to

pristine corners of the world visiting indigenous tribes whose way of life was still traditional. capturing human communities. landscapes. and wildlife in his signature. monochrome. we have heard of the 1st things we must be of no other person can be a foot of you must have

a place for the big players before the growth to be there to walk with the light walk all the plans with the composition photography is a start to go quite deep respect will run out and you must have a piece in the you must. the place to be. so shuffled off when people play with people that there is stars but. an enormous amount of preparation goes into his trips he spends months researching and planning his roots. these days he takes an assistant with him. his son giuliano is also accompanied him filming his father at work. together they visited wrangle island in siberia is arctic ocean course it must use a god old photograph the walrus breeding ground. it's bitterly cold here

the walrus is apt to be approached cautiously then there might be polar bears on the prowl. but son goto is undeterred by danger. watching the photographer at work it's clear how much thought goes into his pictures. the perfection of his compositions doesn't happen by chance.

it's a german film director of inventors conducted extensive interviews with sa god. he juxtaposed their conversations with julian knows footage and star got those photographs to make the biographical documentary the salt of the earth. least in 2014 it garnered a number of awards and helped bring the work of sebastiaan sagar over to a wider public. i was especially fascinated by how much he knows about the places he goes to. he amasses himself in his some generals he's not a tourist not a visitor to this he doesn't just show up and start taking pictures of. he spends weeks and months there getting to know the people. with this approach he

sort of and his right to tell their stories and at the. end in a tense. wherever he goes god treats his subjects with utmost respect nature people their traditions and culture like here in papua new guinea where he photographed indigenous tribes whose traditions are endangered. that semester also yarrow has explored the depths of what mankind can do. but he remains an optimist hopeful that the world can change for the better. you never lose your abilities you see i do not lose it. i don't lose it also might energy and. no no no to see

beautiful. so i gotto says he simply chronicles what he sees. firefighters battling an inferno in kuwait's oil fields. men blinded by gold fever. risking their lives. if it were at a photographer from sweden from german approach. i had another view of the planet was that they were looking from here to solve off the planet for the poor but i born in brazil you when i show depict us like news what it is not the to provoke. a conflict in the course sets off no one

is an issue on the side of my side of the war. in a career that spanned 50 years as a best jaso gotto has found beauty and barbarity and shown us a world in which much has been lost but where much can still be saved a message to future generations. but he sees what he does as a dying craft for having won. the big myth visit misunderstanding about football but of what are we out of doing that we've descended from is not photography. is a new language of communication the person made it is to communicate send that one not us and those who desire does not have bought them for then take a huge amount off because. the late the den to someone is one they cherish telephone and they lose this bit to photography is another thing

impossible that photography will ever disappear. he is indeed compiling our memory.
