“As a photographer, my journey revolves around the subject of my artwork: indigenous peoples. Rooted in a deep sense of empathy, my work aims to connect with people from different cultures and inspire others to embrace the beauty of humanity, recognizing that we are all one people,” Nelson said.
Born in England in 1967, Jimmy Nelson has dedicated his life to traveling around the world to collect, show, and tell the stories of these populations, traditional customs, and traditions that have been preserved despite globalization, and how they perceive the world.
